Research within SDU Robotics

SDU Robotics is a unit within the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark (SDU). With approximately 60 employees, we are based in Odense. We are committed to moving beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and developing new technologies and scientific approaches across fields.

Our research contributes to new knowledge and innovative solutions in areas such as welfare, medical robotics, industrial automation, laboratory automation, and agriculture. We also have a long-standing tradition of close collaboration with industrial partners and public authorities, ensuring that our research addresses real-world challenges and has practical applications.

In addition, SDU Robotics plays an active role in the educational programme in Robot Systems Engineering, which welcomes around 130 new students each year.

Lab Automation

Lab Automation is a new research area at SDU Robotics, focusing on how robotics and automation can transform laboratory workflows. While this is a relatively new field for us, we are already involved in several projects exploring robotic solutions for laboratory applications. Our research brings together expertise in robotics, automation, and intelligent systems to develop flexible and efficient technologies for the laboratories of the future.
