I started my PhD studies in September 2008 and defended my thesis on November 22, 2013.
Research
I am doing research on force controlled assembly using robots with redundant degrees of freedom as part of the ROSETTA project. As a part of this project we made the following video showing automated assembly of an emergency stop button.
Ball-catching Robot
Starting as my master thesis project I have developed a robot system that catches balls and darts that are thrown toward it. You can see a video here.
The ball catcher was one of the demos used during the EUrobotics week in Lund 2012, where our robotics lab was open to external visitors, mostly school students. A video from the event can be found here. The video is in Swedish, but English subtitles are available through the settings i the bottom of the video frame.

Old Projects
Here are links to YouTube videos of some projects I made before my PhD studies.
A printer made of Lego from 2003.
An inverted pendulum made of an old ink jet printer from 2006. In cooperation with Kristian Soltesz.
