The research of the group is focused on three topics:
Laser Processing
Includes topics as: Process automation and robot control, Laser forming, Remote laser cutting and welding, Hybrid laser arc welding, Laser beam shaping, Multi axis robot control
AI for Robotics and Manufacturing
Includes topics as: AI/Machine learning, Skill based programming, Human-robot collaboration/interactions, Natural Language Processing, Autonomous mobile manipulators, Computer vision & ML techniques for human-robot interaction.
Smart Production
Includes topics as: Reconfigurable manufacturing systems, Advanced robotics, Digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Industrial standards/reference architectures, Swarm and matrix production, production preparation and implementation, industry transfer.
It is a priority of the group that the research is put into practical use. As a result, most of the research is carried out in close collaboration with industry. This can be end-users as well as system and technology providers.
Furthermore, since it is a characteristic of automation activities in manufacturing that good solutions require a multi-disciplinary approach, the group has a great emphasis on establishing close collaboration with other research groups across all faculties at Aalborg University, as well as with research institutions nationally and internationally.
