ROB

Organisation profile:

The Flanders MakeROB core lab focuses on research regarding service robots (behaviour-based mobilemanipulation, shared control, learning control), medical robotics (naturalinterfaces, haptic bilateral control), industrial robot assistants, and activesensing.

Our activities cover both mechatronics 1.0(fast, accurate) and mechatronics 2.0 (sensor-intensive, robust, possiblyhuman-robot interactive):

· Robustoptimisation and control for high-performance machines, robots and vehicles;

· Cognitivemachines, “cyber-physical systems”, systems-of-systems and man-machineinteraction;

· Real-timeand embedded software and control for machines, robots and vehicles.

Furthermore, wehave a track record of successfulopen source software projects, such as Orocos, KDL and eTaSL.

Keywords:sensor-based robot control (vision, force, laser), robot programming languages, state and parameter estimation, sensor fusion, cyber-physical systems, robot learning, skills, programming by demonstration, optimal design and control of drones, man-machine interaction, cognitive robots, kinematics and dynamics of mechatronic systems, model-driven engineering, domain-specific languages, code generation, kinematic and dynamic solvers, multi-robot systems, networked manufacturing systems, flexonomy, explainable AI

Disciplines:Control systems, robotics and automation, Manufacturing engineering, Aerospace engineering, Design theories and methods, Mechatronics and robotics, Other mechanical and manufacturing engineering
