ABOUT US
The Mechatronics and Robotics group is tasked with robotics and vision system research within the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics.
The scientists cover the whole spectrum from control algorithms and systems to complex mechatronic devices. We develop robots and vision systems for different tasks, among other things for inspection, exploration, maintenance and rehabilitation. Moreover, we provide rapid prototyping and 3D scanning services for other research groups in the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics.
Our group covers the following research areas:
Mobile robotics
- underwater inspection robots
- pipeline inspection robots
- survey robots
- mobile robots
- rehabilitation devices
- path planning for mobile robots
- space robotics
- control systems for mobile robots
- 2D/3D mapping
Vision systems
