Research Topics

The goal of assistive and medical robotics research is to enhance the precision, safety, and efficiency of medical procedures through cutting-edge robotic technologies. We focus on two primary areas: teleoperated robotic ultrasound examinations and autonomous robotic palpation for cancer detection.

Field robotics deals with the fundamentals and applications of mobile robots operating in unstructured and dynamic environments.

Robotics and artificial intelligence are revolutionising the manufacturing industry by enabling greater efficiency, precision, and adaptability. We focus on making robots adaptable to a changing working landscape in which humans and intelligent machines are asked to cooperate in a cohesive manner, relieving the human worker from repetitive, unergonomic and unhealthy tasks.

Interactive social robots that intuitively learn and interact with humans in an emphatic way by reasoning about their execution and by observing the humans.
