We are pleased to report that our last year’s project student Lukas Lindenroth has won the First Prize (Gold Medal) of the Mechatronics Students Prize Competition of 2016 organised by IMechE (Institution of Mechanical Engineers). Lukas also received the Project Award last year at the Department level. Lukas’ MSc project was supervised by Dr Hongbin…
Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Sklar PhD student (Eric Schneider, enrolled at Univ of Liverpool) won the Best Student Paper prize at the UK flagship robotic conference- 17th Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (TAROS-16) in June for the paper entitled “Evaluating Multi-Robot Teamwork in Varied Environments” by Eric Schneider (Liverpool), Elizabeth Sklar (KCL) and Simon Parsons (KCL). Vous pourriez devoir renoncer à…
Murad Ahmed explores how collaborative robots are being used in agriculture and manufacturing, and asks whether these machines will assist workers on the factory floor, or one day replace them? The documentary contains coverage of CoRe labs and an interview with Dr. Nanayakkara. Watch the full documentary here. Levitra verursacht fast keine Nebenwirkungen und die…
What kinds of things will robots do in future and what jobs will be left for the humans? The FT’s Maija Palmer puts the question to three London-based roboticists, including Dr. Elizabeth Sklar from KCL CoRe. Find out more about this podcast here. Las innovaciones médicas del siglo pasado y podrías beneficiarte de algunas de estas…
On 3rd November at the Great Hall of King’s College London, Professor Jian S Dai, ASME Fellow and IMechE Fellow, was invited to give a Distinguished Lecture to the public on Robots of the Future that Are Shaped by Arts and Nature. More than 250 attendees signed up for the lecture delivered and the Great…
Learn about the UK’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems sector from leading innovators and academics such as Ian Stevens, Chief Executive Officer at Touch Bionics, Professor Kaspar Althoefer, Head of Centre for Robotics Research at Kings College, London, and Professor David Lane, Chair of the Robotics and Autonomous System Special Interest Group appearing via 3D hologram…
The Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe) at King’s College London is developing technology for “soft robots”. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Taking inspiration from the natural world, these robots have soft exteriors that make them safer and more adept for collaboration with humans. Al Jazeera visited King’s CoRe to report on the latest developments…
COLLECT 2015 – Beyond Craft – Crafts Council The Crafts Council’s 2014 research Measuring the Craft Economy found that craft skills in industries beyond the creative sector generate over £2.4bn GVA per year. Here, textile artist Karina Thompson, with her collaborator Dr Matthew Howard, King’s College London, and Chloe Meineck share their experiences of working…
In collaboration with SCHUNK, STIFF-FLOP showed a demonstration of their current state-of-the-art during the Expert Days 2014 in Hausen. This event is the world’s leading symposium for applied service robotics attended by more than 100 experts from all over the world, 18 international top-class speakers and 17 representatives of the international trade press this year.…
We were very excited to show how we do robotics experiments and how we make simple robots to students from the East London Science School. Hope their determination to lead scientific careers further solidified. It was very encouraging to see the depth of their questions. One child asked – “how do you get ideas to…
