This November, Robot SafariEU at the Science Museum will explore the fascinating world of biomimetic robots. Beginning on Wednesday 27th November at Lates and continuing over the weekend (30 Nov – 1 Dec), visitors can trek through the un-natural habitats of these robots, interacting with creatures that swim, flap, and crawl, in a unique safari…
Professor Althoefer explored the concept of robot intelligence and trace advancement in robotics over the last two decades. He provided his view on recent innovations that have helped to shape robots and turn them into what they are today. He presented modern methods aimed at instilling intelligence into a robot’s “brain”, covering aspects such as…
This workshop aims at summarizing the results and on going discussions within some of the EU-funded projects in robotic surgery, such as SAFROS, STIFF-FLOP, Active and uRalp. Although patient safety in all types of surgery seems an obvious concept, the close examination of patient safety in the specific case of robotic surgery raises a number…
Cecilia Laschi and Matteo Cianchetti from SSSA demonstrated how the OCTOPUS robot works and explained how it could one day be used for tasks such as repairing underwater structures like oil pipelines and ships’ hulls to performing search-and-rescue operations – venturing into places too dangerous for humans! The event was held at the Science Museum…
A paper by a group of undergraduate students from the Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe), has been accepted to be published in the proceedings of the prestigious International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2012). Fabio Bianchi, Giulia Bartoli, Kya Shoar, Maria R Armas Fernandez and Valerio Pereno are currently in their fourth year…
Within the EU FP7 Project STIFF-FLOP the Shadow Robot Company developed the “Shadow Robot Nervous System” (SRNS) which is a universal hardware integration platform for connecting input and output components to a PC running the research standard Robot Operating System (ROS). The connection is made via EtherCAT which allows for fast, high bandwidth, real time…
