NextGenRob focuses on 4 research areas: 3D object localization, synchronization of robot manipulators, autonomy and hybrid force/motion control. To develop the next generation robotic technology, the project will:

  • Further develop the competence of Norwegian research communities and participating industries
  • Develop new robotic technology
  • Develop innovative robotic solutions

NextGenRob is one of the projects of ROBOTNOR, Norway's centre for advance robotics. ROBOTNOR is funded by NTNU and SINTEF and specialized in the development of next generation robotics technologies and concepts, promoting education and industrial innovation.
