Lars Asplund is Professor in Computer Science at Mälardalen University since 2001. He received his PhD in Physics in 1977 from Uppsala University. After five years at the Swedish National Institue for Building Research Lars returned to Uppsala University 1982. First at the Department of Physics, where docent competence was received. Later moved to Department of Computer Systems (DoCS). At DoCS both as researcher and head of department. Lars has written ten text books, and the latest will appear fall 2011, in robotics. Industrial experiences are Navatron, that was sold to Silva, Asplund Data AB and the creation of Robyn Robotics. Asplund holds four patents. Lars Asplunds current research include vision sensors for robots - underwater, running or soccer playing...
