Jens Lundell
Postdoctoral researcher in Robotics @ KTH. PhD in Robotics from Aalto University.
I am Jens Lundell, a Postdoctoral researcher working with Danica Kragic in the Robotics, Perception and Learning Lab (RPL) at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden. My research interests is data-driven methods for robotic manipulation and grasping. I am currently working on in-hand manipulation of rigid objects, also known as intrinsic dexterity, deformable object manipulation, and constrained robotic grasping.
I did my Ph.D. in the Intelligent Robotics group at Aalto University (Finland) with Prof. Ville Kyrki and Ph.D. Francesco Verdoja. My Ph.D. thesis addressed the problem of probabilistic 6-degree-of-freedom multi-finger grasping of objects in clutter. My solution to those problems was to explicitly shape-complete each object in the scene using deep learning, and plan grasps on those reconstructions. I also focused on using physics simulators to gather synthetic data for training deep networks.
I hold a Master’s degree in Space Science and Technology and a Bachelor’s degree in Automation and Systems Technology, both from Aalto University.
My main research interests:
- Robotic Grasping
- Robotic Manipulation
- Deep Learning
