Researchers at Tampere University

Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences create a unique environment for multidisciplinary, inspirational and high-impact research and education. Our universities community has its competitive edges in technology, health and society. www.tuni.fi/en

Innovative Hydraulics and Automation (IHA) is doing interdisciplinary research in the field of Fluid power automation, by the bridging of theory and practice with cooperation with industry. Prof. Jouni Mattila leads the research group on mobile manipulation with more than 10 researchers, and his group is part of the IHA at ENS. https://www.tuni.fi/en/research/iha-innovative-hydraulics-and-automation

Mobile manipulation research group lead by Prof. Mattila has a proven track-record with project-based multidisciplinary R&D research dealing with full scale heavy-duty mobile working machines (liikkuvat työkoneet) relevant to Finland-based high-tech companies in both academic and technology transfer projects concerning: autonomous mobile working machines, heavy-duty robotics motion/force controls, machine learning and nonlinear robotic control engineering, and systems engineering in real-world field robotics. We have published widely on these topics during the past years. Our graduates have virtually 100% success rate to be employed by Finland-based high-tech field robotic companies or by their ecosystem. We carry out our research on full-scale experimental field robotics systems at our TAU outdoors lab and also with shared research infrastructure with our industrial collaborators in Tampere region.
