About
Volker Krueger is Professor at Lund University's Department of Computer Science, with joint appointments in Robotics and Semantic Systems. He leads research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and autonomous systems through the ELLIIT initiative and NEXTG2COM Competence Centre. His research group focuses on developing robust perception and decision-making systems for industrial and service robotics applications.
Research interests span robot perception under challenging conditions, uncertainty quantification in machine learning models, and human-robot interaction frameworks. Recent projects investigate vision-language models for robotic failure handling, domain-specific languages for robot programming, and optimization methods for logistics systems.
His laboratory coordinates multiple European projects including RIACT (Radical Innovation of Adaptive Cobot Technology) and NextG2Com (Next Generation Communication Infrastructures). He actively promotes robotics education through initiatives like the Robotics Week for Schools and maintains extensive industry collaborations in manufacturing and automation sectors.
