The Perception and Manipulation Laboratory of the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI) occupies 142 m2 on the second floor of the School of Mathematics and Statistics (FME). Part of the laboratory houses a full-scale model of a small apartment (35 m2). Two TIAGo PAL mobile single-arm robots inhabit the apartment, but are occasionally taken out to experiment elsewhere. There is also a handling area equipped with four collaborative manipulator robots (two WAM and two KINOVA robots), and workstations are distributed around the perimeter. Next to the laboratory, with a direct view through a window, is the scientific-technical support office. The laboratory is also equipped with commercial and self-developed clamps, detection devices and augmented reality systems.
The laboratory service offers a rapid experimental setup, various standardized software tools, and expertise in robot control and perception algorithms. The lab also hosted the Humanoid Lab Initiative in the past, and we still maintain 15 small humanoid robots for educational or promotional purposes.
