  • Dynamic simulation of grasping and manipulation can be very helpful in the development of algorithms and hardware. The Mechatronics group has experience from working in GraspIt! and Adams. This page explains some of the basics and show some demonstrations.

  • In a home or any other environment that cannot be perfectly controlled, true robot usability comes from the capability of grasping and manipulation of objects. Challenges include, but are are not limited to; error detection, safety aspects, navigation and localization, control, and – what this project is focusing on – grasping and simple manipulation.

  • The simulator which will ensure the supply of electricity to Sweden

    In the aftermath of the storm Gudrun, it was estimated that 730,000 Swedish electricity customers were without electricity when around 30,000 km of electric cables were damaged, of which, nine per cent were damaged so badly that a complete rebuild was necessary. Twenty days after the storm, 12,000 customers were still without electricity and for some subscribers, the interruption lasted for a total of 45 days. KTH researchers have now developed a simulator that will eliminate power cuts.
