Ground-breaking research to develop 'conscious' robot
Researchers at the Universities of Essex and Bristol will soon be launching a ground-breaking project to develop a 'conscious' robot. The aim of the project, which involves computer scientists and neuropsychologists, is to advance the technology of intelligent machines, while also extending the understanding of human consciousness. Owen Holland,... view more... (2003-08-22)
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... view more... (1999-08-04)
"We are the champions"...but artificial
Many a soccer coach has certainly pulled one or the other of his young charges from the field for playing like an absolute beginner. Such drastic measures are normally not part of the researchers' coaching regimen when they let their robots kick. Robot soccer world cup events have taken place in various leagues since 1997. The idea of the Robo-Cup... view more... (2003-05-22)
