  • Pop star Robyn lights up KTH lab project

    International pop star Robyn is the inspiration for a dancing robot being developed by third- and fourth-year mechatronics students at KTH Royal Institute of Technology; and the singer recently visited their lab to offer some suggestions on prototypes the group developed.

  • REMA: Redefining Mobility for Aging Adults

    REMA aims to rethink how exoskeletons can support mobility in aging populations by combining physical functionality with psychological and emotional care.

  • EXHILO 2: Advancing Real-time Exoskeleton Control for Human-in-the-Loop Optimization

    This project advances the modular lower-limb exoskeleton platform initiated in the first demonstrator project EXHILO. In this second phase, the project focuses on duplicating and validating the actuation modules, implementing and testing a broader set of Human-in-the-Loop (HILO) control strategies, and integrating the modules with prototype exoskeleton structures with the goal of validating the overall solution. Together, these developments aim to establish a reliable and adaptable platform for personalized exoskeleton assistance, supporting both laboratory research and clinical evaluation.

  • News & Events

  • Facilities

    Our lab offers a research-focused environment for the design, optimization, and experimental evaluation of robotic systems addressing both industrial challenges and societal needs. Our facilities are built to support the complete mechatronic design process, bringing together design optimization, multi-material prototyping, integrated sensing, real-time motion control, and experimental evaluation.

  • Education

    The lab actively contributes to education in Mechatronics by supporting student projects that connect academic learning with real-world engineering challenges. Through a combination of technical supervision, access to our facilities, and integration with our ongoing research, we provide students with opportunities to apply their skills in robot design and mechatronic system development to meaningful, interdisciplinary projects.

  • Collaboration & Opportunities

    We are always open to new ideas, partnerships, and initiatives. If you're a student, researcher, company, or public organization interested in collaborating with the Robot Design Lab at KTH, please contact us and we will explore the best way to work together.

  • MSc Machine Design

    The master's programme in Machine Design puts you at the forefront of shaping machines and technologies that drive our world forward. From concepts to real-world applications, you will explore the latest methods in mechanical systems design, learning to innovate, analyse, design, and optimise everything from robotics and next-generation vehicles to sustainable energy solutions. You will graduate ready to lead in the ever-evolving field of machine design.
