Intelligent RoboticsIntelligent Robotics is involved in a number of related research projects concerning sensor, computational and mechatronic support for controlling both robotic manipulators and automated guided vehicles (mobile robots). These projects cover such topics as:
A wide range of computer and robotic hardware is established in the centre including Silicon Graphic workstations, Puma robot manipulators and Robuter and Denning mobile robots. A pair of dedicated milling machines is used to manufacture unique components for research robots.
