Intelligence Augmentation lab (IA-lab)

The Intelligence Augmentation Lab is part of the KTH Interaction and Robotic Lab (KTH IRL). It is a research infrastructure for human-human and human-machine interaction studies that has been developed by the division of Speech, Music and Hearing (TMH) and division of Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL)

It is a smart home environment with a fully functioning kitchen that was built in collaboration with Akademiska Hus and Electrolux. There is a living room area that can be refurnished into a warehouse for robot picking challenges.

There room is equipped with sensors, microphones, cameras, as well as smart speakers, large screens and built-in speakers in the ceiling. There is a control room with video capture, GPU-servers and computers. The room has a 100 GB wired internet connection.

The IA-lab has a purpose of being used for research studies in AI- and robot supported cooking. It will also be used in studies together with Electrolux on how human cook today, and how AI can support zero-waste cooking.

The Digital Futures supported project AAIS has conducted a study on a Conversational AI guessing game and the WASP supported project PerCorSo have ran a hackaton on developing a robot restaurant demo.

Outside the IA-lab there is a lounge that can be expanded into the PMIL motion capture lab. This was used in a press conference in December 2023, where the Swedish prime minister announced the AI commission.
