The lab is dedicated to the development and validation of methods for the control of industrial and collaborative robots in advanced manufacturing. The lab is structured as an open space populated by heavy industrial robots, collaborative robots and mobile manipulators, in order to create an ecosystem of interacting autonomous machines.
The lab focuses on thematic areas such as human-robot collaboration, task and motion planning, physical human-robot interaction, rapid sorting, human-robot and robot-robot co-manipulation. These topics have applications in various areas in manufacturing, including waste sorting, assembly and disassembly, and pick and pack.
