Objectives



The Centre for Robotics and Control has the following major objectives:  

                                    

Laboratory Support for Students

               for undergraduate projects
               for postgraduate theses



Research and Development



               academic research
               sponsored/consultancy projects

 

Training and Information Dissemination

               through Continuing Education Programmes
               through the development of a reference library
 

The Centre for Robotics and control initiated a number of activities in the frontier area of Intelligent Control and Autonomous robots, and has become truly interdisciplinary.
 

​

The centre builds on the world-leading and international excellence performance in the field of robotics and control. Members at the Centre coordinate large number of external research projects and collaborate with the major national and international centres in robotics and control. The main areas of research carried out by the Centre are:



                   • The application of mathematical and computational modelling

                   • The investigation and understanding of the interaction between controllers and robotic systems,

                      with an emphasis on intelligence

                   • The use of computational and robotics modelling methods to investigate system behaviours and

                      searching for improvements

                   • Service robots, medical robots and human-robot interaction

                   • The application of these models into the real-world robotic and interactive applications (from

                      industrial to medical areas).
