About Lars Karlsson

Lars Karlsson is a professor in computer science within the Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) at the Schoool of Science and Technology. He does research about robotics and artificial intelligence with a focus on planning. This includes how a robot can combine task and motion planning, how a network of sensors and robots can be configured to solve a task, and how robots can adapt their plans to human activities.

Lars Karlsson subject responsible för computer science, and is program responsible for the fiva-year engineering program in computer science. He teaches the courses Fundamentals of computer science and Software engineering for MSc in engineering.
