Departmen of Materials and Production's research is organised in three main sections:
- Production
- Sustainable Production
- Physics and Mechanics

Research
Section: Sustainable Production
Robotics, Vision and Machine Intelligence
The research group is concerned with autonomous robotics for manufacturing, agricultural and service applications. The employed robots include mobile robots on the ground as well as arial robots.
Behavioural Operations and Innovation Management
The group has as its core focus behavioral operations and innovation management, and it subscribes to broad notions of these.
Logistics and Supply Chain Management
The group has its core focus on conducting cutting edge operations, logistics and supply chain research to be transferred to practice in the manufacturing, transport and service industry.
Section: Production
Robotics and Automation
The group is engaged in research on automation and semi-automation of complex manufacturing tasks.
CIP
The group are dedicated to initiate and coordinate research in this area and to develop the necessary competencies and capabilities to increase the future competitive strength of Danish industry.
Operations Research
The group focuses on research in the domains of manufacturing, transportation and defense.
Celog
The group focus on models and techniques to plan, analyse, diagnose and integrate logistic operations.
Mass Customization
The group is a business strategy focusing on serving increasingly diverse markets with personalized products at low costs.
Section: Physics and Mechanics
Biomechanics
The group works on several fields of biomechanics related to orthopaedics, product design, sports, tissue engineering and computational ergonomics.
Solid and Computational Mechanics
The activities of the group encompass fundamental aspects of solid and computational mechanics applied for design of cost-effective, resource-efficient mechanical systems and products.
Materials Science and Engineering
The group bridges the traditional boundaries between the disciplinary areas of materials physics, materials processing, and materials science. This interplay between disciplines creates a catalytic environment conductive for the encouragement of materials research.
Physics
The research activities in the Physics group cover many aspects of solid state physics, materials and optics. Both fundamental and applied research is carried out with a strong focus on optical physics and laser spectroscopy, surface physics, solar cells and materials for electronic components.
cross-disciplinary programs
EXOSKELETON
For several years, exoskeletons have served as an effective aid in rehabilitation, but now the technology is also being used in industry which has discovered the benefits of exoskeletons such as fewer work-related injuries, fewer worn out workers and increased quality of life.
