The First Robot Librarian Is Born At The University Jaume I
A team of researchers from the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at the University Jaume I (UJI) in Castell'³n, Spain, has created the first automat capable of performing the tasks usually carried out by a library clerk. The robot uses speech-recognition to identify the book that is being requested, then determines its location, goes to the shelf, picks it up and takes it to wherever it is... View More (2004-07-01)


Robot Volleyball
For the contest each University will design, build and programme two autonomous robots which will act as a Volleyball team in an attempt to beat all others. In order to compete the robots will need to communicate with each other, respond quickly and adaptively when the ball enters their court, and get the ball back over to the opposition with winning in mind. View More (1999-06-10)


First for Plymouth Student
Under the terms of its cooperative agreement with the University, Becton Dickinson has loaned two PUMA560 industrial robots - complete with the necessary support and maintenance back-up - for use on the robotics course. Since a typical, medium-sized industrial robot costs in the region of £50k, this gives Plymouth an important advantage over other universities that cannot afford to give... View More (1999-08-04)


A new system for locating and capturing satellites in space
Scientists at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new system for docking and capturing space satellites based on robotics and computer vision technology to autonomously guide a space vehicle to dock and capture the satellites. View More (2010-10-14)


Robot Valley in the M'¤lardalen Valley lands SEK 100 million in growth money

EU award for robot that saves human drudgery
A new way to control industrial robots, developed by Lund University in collaboration with the company ABB in Sweden, has been awarded first prize by Euron, an official EU network in robotics. Using the award-winning technology, robots can react instantly and with great precision correct any defect in a piece of work in serial production, for example. In other words, they can relieve many human... View More (2005-04-13)
