A robot learns its way around the lab

A striking blue robot named Rosie has made itself at home for the last couple of years in the Robotics, Perception and Learning lab at KTH, as part of a project in which robots are learning how to perceive three dimensional environments and move about and interact in them — even in the course of routine … Continue reading “A robot learns its way around the lab”

With right materials, heat can be converted into electricity on large scale

Where there’s heat, there’s energy. In systems like automobile engines, a lot of heat escapes – so one area of research in which KTH is involved is thermoelectric generation, or the process of converting heat into electricity. Researchers here have worked on a prototype generator for Scania trucks, for example. But vehicles aren’t the only … Continue reading “With right materials, heat can be converted into electricity on large scale”
