Our robotics and autonomous systems research has a distinctive profile developing, integrating and applying novel AI approaches in the design of robots and autonomous systems for real world applications.
This is a highly interdisciplinary Centre, building on the close collaboration between engineering approaches to robotics and control and computer science approaches to AI and cognitive and neural systems. It is further enhanced by robotics research in privacy and ethics in the social sciences.
The work of our academics and research labs is aligned around five themes, each focusing on a specific set of key scientific and technological challenges and areas of investigation:
Platform design, mechatronics and control
Verification, security and trust
Human-robot interaction and cognitive robotics
AI, machine learning and data
Ethics and society
