Philipp Althaus | CVAP | 790 6725 | |
| Philipp is currently working on the dynamic approach to behaviour based robotics. Behaviours like corridor following, obstacle avoidance... are modelled in a mathematical framework as dynamical systems of behavioral variables. Hence, this approach allows to analize the properties of the robot and its emergent behaviours. | ||||
|
Mårten Björkman | CVAP | 790 6202 | |
| Mårten is interested in stereo vision, fixation, smooth pursuit of moving objects and attention, and is currently working on a flexible, scalable, modular and portable visual front-end. He is also interested in computer graphics algorithms for global illumination and hardware rendering. | ||||
|
Mattias Bratt | CVAP | 790 6728 | |
| Mattias is working on the construction of a new modular robot. The project is still in an early phase, but the goal is a small robot with easily interchangable modules for locomotion, perception, manipulation etc. | ||||
|
Martin Eriksson | CVAP | 790 6725 | |
| Martin is primarily doing research in object-recognition, tracking and vision-based manipulation. Specifically, Martin will use a camera- equipped manipulator in order to identify and grasp specified objects. | ||||
|
Freyr Hardarson | DAMEK | 790 7579 | |
| Freyr's research interests are within the field of legged locomotion and include mechanical design, simulation and control of legged vehicles. | ||||
|
Mattias Lindström | CVAP | 790 6725 | |
| Works on a primarily visual-based robot navigation system, using a collection of homogeneous groups of behaviors which are under the guidance of a supervisor. Also interest in resource handling of perception control. | ||||
|
Anders Orebäck | CVAP | 790 6204 | |
| Anders works on the the design and evaluation of software architectures of service robots. Integration is also a major field. | ||||
|
Lars Petersson | CVAP | 790 7224 | |
| The research interest is mobile manipulation, how to coordinate the many degrees of freedom of such a system using the specific characteristics of mobile platforms and manipulator arms. Another research interest is to combine sensory information from sensors such as force/torque, vision, gyroscope, accelerometers etc. to perform useful tasks with a mobile manipulator. | ||||
|
Christian Ridderstöm | DAMEK | 790 9137 | |
| Christian is associated with the difficult terrain demonstrator project. His research interest lies within the field of legged locomotion. The research is focused on the control and generation of different gaits, where the gait should depend on factors such as the desired speed, stability and type of terrain. | ||||
|
Morten Strandberg | CVAP | 790 6204 | |
| Morten is working on grasping using the three-fingered BarrettHand. Research will involve equipping the hand with tactile sensors and utilize this sensor modality for robust grasp acquisition. Research interests are also grasp planning using minimalistic object models and tactile object recognition. | ||||
|
Dennis Tell | CVAP | 790 6138 | |
| Dennis is working on visual navigation for the service robot at CAS. By using a stored set of images from different locations in an indoor environment, or some salient information extracted from those images, navigation to a desired position can be done by comparing the robot's current view with a suitable stored view. | ||||
|
Guido Zunino | CVAP | 790 6726 | |
| Guido is working on robust fusion of sensory information for navigation in a domestic environment. This project investigates methods for landmark detection and navigation for domestic robotics. In terms of sensory fusion it is of interest to study methods for automatic and robust detection of lanmarks, use of such landmarks for efficient navigation and methods for automatic scheduling of sensors to minimize the demand of computational resources. | ||||
| Petter Ögren | OPTSYST | 790 8099 | |
|
| Petter is currently studying arm-base coordination in a mobile manipulator. His research interests are robotics and hybrid systems in general. | ||||
