    Speaker for following sessions
    • 12:00 - 14:30 Robots as a Tool
      HOST: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK AND ODENSE ROBOTICS
      The Conference is in English.
       
      12.00 - 12.05: Welcome and Introduction
      Moderator: Jacob Haugaard Christiansen, Journalist, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark

      12.05 - 12.15: Denmark’s Robotics Industry – Bringing Technologies to New Domains
      Mikkel Christoffersen, CEO, Odense Robotics
      Internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading robot nations, Denmark pioneers within research, development and commercialisation of robot, automation and drone technologies. The country’s deep research expertise combined with strong development and commercial activities means that Denmark is making important contributions to extending the application of robotics technologies to an ever-increasing range of domains and industries. Whereas traditionally robots were confined to the factory floor, now robots are solving important tasks in healthcare, logistics, retail and more. Learn about Denmark’s robot and drone industry – and how researchers and companies are bringing robots to new domains.

      12.05 - 12.30: Software and IoT for Robotic Applications
      Mikkel Baun Kjærgaard, Professor, SDU Software Engineering, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark
      Internet of things (IoT) technologies are enabling new data-driven insights about the world. At the same time advancement in robotics is enabling us to act on the insights. This talk explores the opportunities for creating new solutions by applying software technology to connect IoT technologies with robotic action in context of the FacilityCobot project.

      12.30 - 12.45: A New Tool for Flexible Automation
      Lars-Peter Ellekilde, CEO, Enabled Robotics
      Combining the flexibility of a robot arm, the mobility of an autonomous mobile robot and an easy-to-use software creates a new level of flexibility and allows to automate a new range of applications. This presentation will introduce the solution of Enabled Robotics, the technologies and give examples of applications.

      12.45 - 13.00: From Industry to Healthcare
      Thiusius Rajeeth Savarimuthu, Professor, SDU Robotics, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute,University of Southern Denmark
      Healthcare robotics builds upon many of the technology development within the industrial domain. This talk will present some of the key enabling technologies needed in the healthcare domain and how these can be transferred from the industrial domain.

      13.00 - 13.15: ROPCA Ultrasound Scanner
      Anders B. H. Christensen, AI & Software Engineer, ROPCA
      The ARTHUR scanner by ROPCA is an automatic ultrasound scanner of finger and wrist joint. It is used to scan rheumatoid arthritis patients. The technology used in ARTHUR builds upon advanced image processing and robotic motion generation algorithms. This talk will focus on how ROPCA uses some of the technology used in industry to create a solution in the healthcare domain.

      13.15 - 13.30: GENIUS: Using 5G to Fly Drones together in U-Space
      Ulrik Pagh Schultz, Professor and Head of SDU UAS Centre, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark
      GENIUS aims to develop a novel 5G UAS network, optimized for 3D coverage of the lower airspace and providing a safe and reliable U-space where drones can fly safely side by side with manned aviation. This talk will present the main concepts in the project, which brings together major players such as Ericsson, TDC Net, and Naviair, in use cases that will be demonstrated by Lorenz Technology and by the Danish EPA.

      13.30 - 13.45: Innovation Meets Reality: The Role of Compliance in Drone Operations
      Cedric Burg, Innovation Manager, Lorenz Technology
      Lorenz Technology develops intelligent drone solutions that enable organizations to make informed decisions and automate processes. In this talk, Lorenz Technology will explain how it leverages the GENIUS project to develop new technologies to comply with drone legislation and make drone operations safer, more efficient, and more autonomous.

      13.45 - 14.05: Human-Robot Interaction as a general factor in the use of robotics
      Oskar Palinko, Associate Professor, SDU Robotics, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark
      Introduction to the DAnish Human-Robot Interaction Network (DAHRIN)

      14.05 - 14.30: Panel discussion
      Moderator: Jacob Haugaard Christiansen, Journalist, Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark

      14.30: End of conference session
    • 09:30 - 11:00 Private and Public Collaboration in the Development of New Robotic Solutions for Hospitals
      HOST: CCR - CENTRE FOR CLINICAL ROBOTICS / ODENSE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.
      The Conference is in English.

      09.30 - 11.00: Private and Public Collaboration in the Development of New Robotic Solutions for Hospitals
      Søren Udby, Programme Manager, CCR
      Thiusius Rajeeth Savarimuthu, Professor in Medical Robots, SDU/MMMI & Head of Research, CCR
      One of the main tasks for the new Centre for Clinical Robotics (CCR) at Odense University Hospital is to facilitate collaboration between private companies, clinicians at the hospital, and researchers at SDU. CCR has a project-based approach to facilitate this, which aims to make the process easier, faster, and better for all parties. Søren and Rajeeth will give examples of projects and learnings.
