inomRobotteknik

InomRobotteknik is a field of study and practice that focuses on the development of robotic systems capable of sensing, deciding, and acting in real-world environments. The term is used in Swedish-speaking contexts to describe the broad discipline of robotics engineering, integrating mechanical design, electronics, control theory, computer science, artificial intelligence, and human–robot interaction.

Core areas include mechatronic design and actuation, sensing and perception (including sensors and vision), motion planning and control, robot software architectures, and safety, reliability, and ethics. Researchers often work across hardware and software, combining hardware-in-the-loop testing with simulation.

Applications cover manufacturing and logistics, medical and elder care, service robots for homes and public spaces, agriculture, inspection and maintenance, and exploratory missions in harsh environments. The field also includes industrial automation, collaborative robots (cobots), and autonomous systems used in unmanned vehicles and drones.

Education and research are offered by technical universities and engineering faculties, often within robotics, mechatronics, or computer science programs. Degree programs include bachelor’s and master’s degrees in robotics engineering or related fields, with graduate research centers advancing perception, AI, planning, and autonomy.

Current trends include increased use of artificial intelligence for perception and decision-making, advances in sensing and actuation, and the integration of robotics with industry 4.0 technologies. Challenges remain in safety, interoperability, energy efficiency, and public acceptance.
