Find out about the STIFF-FLOP project which aims to create a robotic arm based on an octopus tentacle, allowing us to innovate and push the boundaries of current medical robotics technology and providing solutions with real benefits for patients and surgical staff. Join members of the Centre for Robotics Research, Kings College London to experience…
Ali Shafti (PhD student at CoRe) and Kristan Marlow (PhD student from the Centre for Intelligent Systems Research, Deakin University and visiting researcher at CoRe) collaborated with comedian Matthew Highton on his new comedy show. The roboticists equipped his doll Sam with a rotary head and wrote an Android application for the wireless control. Beraten Sie sich vor der…
A team of researchers in the Department of Informatics, led by Prof. Kaspar Althoefer, Dr Panagiotis Kosmas and Dr Jamie Barras, has been awarded £321,000 by Find a Better Way, a charity founded by Sir Bobby Charlton to tackle the problem of buried landmines. The award, presented to the King’s team by Sir Bobby at a…
Prior to the festival, Robot Safari received excellent coverage in Design Week, the Daily Telegraph and Mail Online. It also received a prominent half-page listing in Time Out London. As the festival opened, further coverage appeared, including in Phys.org, Gizmag and Popular Science. The BBC published a video online with footage from the festival and…
During the European Robotics Week, at the Science Museum in London we’ll meet swimming, flapping or crawling robots mimicking real animals. The EU-funded STIFF-FLOP project will be showing a robotic arm inspired by the softness and agility of an elephant’s trunk and by the octopus’ ability to find food by exploring small cavities in rocks.…
Prof. Kaspar Althoefer and his colleagues were interviewed by T3 about robots of the future. In particular, he spoke about CoRe‘s contribution and development in the field of sensing to the EU FP7 project HANDLE.

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…
Technological developments move fast, and if the trend continues, it won’t be long before humans and robots are working side by side in home, field, and factory environments. Our society has to be prepared (more here).
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…
