El grup SIR desenvolupa l'activitat d'investigació en robòtica industrial i de serveis seguint els enfocaments tradicionals i els nous paradigmes en què els robots poden treballar de forma segura juntament amb els humans de forma que es converteixin en companys de treball i col·legues en la fàbrica i en la llar. En aquest àmbit, el treball d'investigació del grup se centra principalment en eines transversals per a la manipulació dretana, mòbil i cooperativa, així com per a la teleoperació de robots. La llista de temes abordats inclou control i comunicacions a través d'Internet, posicionament relacional, sistemes de visió i realitat augmentada en 3D, síntesi automàtica de captures, telemanipulació, programació per demostració, planificació del moviment similar a l'humà, planificació simultània de tasques i moviments i planificació de la manipulació basada en la física. Les eines comunes utilitzades en aquesta investigació són dispositius háptics, plataformes mòbils, robots industrials, robots de doble braç, mans mecàniques i sistemes sensorials.

The group SIR performs the research activity in industrial and service robotics following traditional approaches as well as new paradigms where the robots are allowed to work safely alongside humans in such a way that they become collaborative coworkers and fellows in the factory floor and at home. In this scope, the research work of the group is mainly focused on transversal tools for dexterous, mobile and cooperative manipulation as well as for robot teleoperation. The list of addressed topics includes control and communications through the Internet, relational positioning, vision systems and 3D augmented reality, automatic synthesis of grasps, telemanipulation, programming by demonstration, human-like motion planning, simultaneous task and motion planning, and physics-based manipulation planning. Typical tools used in this research are haptic devices, mobile platforms, industrial robots, dual-arm robots, mechanical hands and sensory systems.
