Maj Stenmark serves as Associate Professor at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering, Department of Computer Science, with cross-appointments in Children Cardiology and Robotics and Semantic Systems. They are actively involved in multiple research initiatives including the LTH Engineering Health profile area and LU's Natural and Artificial Cognition profile.
Stenmark's research focuses on human-robot interaction, specifically simplifying robot task programming for intelligent systems. Their work bridges computer science and medical applications, with emphasis on surgical robotics and vision-based tracking systems. Current projects include CAISA (Collaborative Artificial Intelligent Surgical Assistant) in partnership with Skåne University Hospital's Children's Heart Center and robotics companies Cognibotics and Cobotic.
Analysis of recent publications reveals strong trends in medical robotics applications, particularly vision-based surgical assistance systems. Their work combines computer vision, language models, and behavior trees to create robotic surgical assistants, with growing emphasis on dual-arm robot programming using deep learning models with language and vision instructions.
Stenmark actively supervises researchers including H. Ismail and E. Ertürk, and participates in major funding initiatives including WASP and Vinnova competence centers. Their research receives support from Swedish Government Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova) and the ELLIIT initiative.
They lead the development of robotic scrub nurse technology through vision tracking of surgical hand and instrument motions, and manage infrastructure related to The Tissue Bank in Lund. Stenmark also engages in knowledge transfer through NEXTG2COM workshops and media appearances discussing AI applications in pediatric heart surgery.
