Ongoing projects
Upskilling or deskilling in robotized environments (KOMPARO)
The purpose of KOMPARO is to enhance understanding of how robotization, specifically in the form of human-robot collaboration (HRC), affects operators’ professional competence and sense of control at work, as well as how collaborative robots should be designed to support operators’ own competence development.
April 2025 - March 2028 InformaticsOperator competence in automated and virtual environments (OKAVIM)
Digital tools based on AR and VR are increasingly used in industry to support operators. But how does it affect employees' skills and understanding of the systems they work with? The University of Skövde has been granted SEK 4.8 million to develop a guide for how the digital tools should be used in the manufacturing industry.
February 2023 - January 2026 InformaticsPLENUM
The ongoing electrification of the automotive industry will initially lack competence, it is new knowledge that is required to take the automotive industry to the next phase. According to the EC, the loss of skills within the battery cell plants is estimated to be up to 800,000 people until 2025. And even the industry would have enough people, the factories are not yet built, which makes it impossible to train the person on site.

Synergy Virtual Ergonomics
The UN sustainability goals and the European and Swedish research agendas describe a need for efficient and effective tools and intervention methods to improve our ability to monitor and prevent disorders and diseases. European and Swedish research agendas also call for efficient digitalisation tools for the design, modelling, simulation, optimisation, visualisation, and forecasting of products and production processes, resources, systems, and factories during their life cycles.
