The Humanitarian Technologies Lab (HT Lab) exists to develop new technologies to deliver humanitarian assistance to people in need. It brings together a broad range of disciplines within CoRe, with its main areas of focus being: humanitarian demining and safe medicines. If you are not redirected automatically, follow the link.
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…
Taking inspiration from the realm of soft-bodied animals, a European-wide team of engineers, biologists and surgeons coordinated by roboticists at King’s College London have made new ground in the framework of EU project STIFF-FLOP (STIFFness controllable Flexible and Learnable manipulator for surgical OPerations) creating soft and stiffness-controllable robotic devices specifically for minimally-invasive surgery. Here, a…
The Department of Informatics, King’s College London, is running a competition to design the face of Kinba – the new King’s College London robotic receptionist in the Strand Campus, who will succeed the legendary, cheeky chatty robot receptionist Inkha. Inkha has been faithfully attending the Strand Campus reception for more than 10 years now, and…
The FT’s Andrew Ward explores how the worlds of biology and robotics are coming together, and how bionics is now being applied in healthcare. He talks to Prof. Kaspar Althoefer from King’s College London and representatives from two companies specialising in the area. More information can be found here.
IEEE Spectrum recently reported about haptic feedback solutions for minimally invasive surgery proposed by world-leading research groups. The article mentions the work that the Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe) led by robotics expert Prof. Kaspar Althoefer at King’s College London has devised a system that tracks the probe’s spatial position, how deeply it indents the tissue, and the…
Service robotics in Europe is on the rise. The market entrance of Google, the establishment of the “Robo-Stox” index in 2013, special reports in magazines such as “The Economist” or “Der Spiegel” show it: service robotics is on the threshold of entering a new maturity level. Service robotics conquers new, commercial fields of application and…
Dr Helge Wurdemann, Project Manager for STIFF-FLOP from The Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe) (Department of Informatics, King’s College London) will exhibit the STIFF-FLOP project at Robots Live! on 15 June 2014. Here, he explains what STIFF-FLOP is and what visitors to Robots Live! can expect. Die möglicherweise eine Fälschung anbieten, das Arzneimittel muss…
The IEEE Student Branch at King’s College was founded in 2001 and reshaped in 2012 as a more active branch. To celebrate the new academic year and welcome new students as well as get reacquainted with senior students, we are planning a social event on Tuesday 11th of November 6pm. Date: Tuesday 11th November, 18:00 Venue: Room K0.20, Strand Campus, King’s College…
