Nakama (仲間 - Japanese)
"Someone you are close with, or with whom you do something together."
Our lab brings together machine learning and robotics, to create a robotic platform that can learn to physically collaborate with humans on a variety of tasks, or even autonomously take over those tasks. Specifically, the EVE robot (Halodi Robotics) is currently the central subject of research. We aim to apply her in the healthcare sector to support nursing staff.
Our lab aims to use a flat team structure without too much "academic hierarchy". We regularly meet with the team in an agile setting.
This lab was established in 2021 and is supported by:
Sectorplan Bèta en Techniek - Smart Supporting Robots
