Robert Krug

Hi there,

I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the AASS Mobile Robotics and Olfaction Lab, Örebro University, Sweden, where I completed a PhD in Control Theory in 2014. Before joining the MR&O lab, I earned a diploma degree in Mechatronics in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Technology Graz, Austria, in 2009. My full CV can be found here.

Research Interests

My research focuses on a holistic perspective of robot motion- and interaction behavior generation. Historically, solution strategies to these problems have been arbitrarily divided into sub-problems such as “planning” or “tracking control”. Instead, I am interested  in using control-based approaches for simultaneous robot motion generation and execution. An additional research avenue I am pursuing is the computation of physically realistic grasp quality metrics. Current application areas of interest include:

  • Autonomous grasping and manipulation
  • Telemanipulation under shared autonomy
  • Robot fleet navigation and coordination

Software

Several of my publications and projects have also produced open source software, bundled together in a stack of ROS packages. Most of the software is available for download through our lab repository. Recent work I have contributed to includes:
