Take a look at how well our robot BAXTER is coming along. This is the very first demo of our new Baxter robot using taught-in trajectories to manipulate some objects. Not much state-of-the-art science in this one, but a feasibility study of what’s possible with off-the-shelf components. Let us know what you think in the…
Mobile service robots developed by computer scientists at the University of Lincoln could soon be helping elderly people stay independent and active for longer. A new international project will test the ability of robots to support our ageing populations by assisting residents of care homes in three European countries. ENRICHME (ENabling Robot and assisted living…
A robot called Linda developed by computer scientists at the University of Lincoln, UK, has appeared on Channel 4’s Gadget Man. In the fourth series of the technology show, presenter Richard Ayoade test-drives new technological devices designed to make life easier. In an episode exploring the theme Health and Safety, aired at 8.30pm on Monday…
Robotics experts from around the world will present ground-breaking research on how robots are moving out of the laboratory and into homes and workplaces at a major international conference hosted by the University of Lincoln, UK. The European Conference on Mobile Robots (ECMR) 2015 takes place on 2-4 September 2015. It is the first time…
Dr Astrid Weiss from Technical University Vienna, will be presenting in the SoCS research seminar. Her work is at the crossroads of robotics, computer science, Human Computer Interaction, and social sciences; investigating robotic applications in public space, elderly care and factory settings. This is a research seminar open to attendees across the university, in particular…
Researchers have programmed a robot that is able to understand and react to human movement. The team, based at the University of Lincoln, UK, have developed a computational model which focusses on the essence of movement, representing the relative movement of human and robot in relation to one another. This enables the robot to reason…
Visitors to The Collection in Lincoln can meet a very special robot during EU Robotics Week later this month. Linda the robot, from the University of Lincoln, UK, will be guiding visitors to exhibitions in the museum as part of European Robotics Week from 24th to 30th November 2014. Linda is one of six robots…
3D-printed robots from the University of Lincoln, UK, have taken their first overseas trip to attend Europe’s largest annual technology event in Dublin. Web Summit, which runs from 4th to 6th November 2014, has been called ‘the best technology conference on the planet’. MARC (Multi-Actuated Robotic Companion) and TAMMIE (Technologically Advanced Multi-Modal Interactive Entity), two…
An interactive piece of art created by Dr John Shearer from the School of Computer Science and Dr Brigitta Zics Deputy Head of Postgraduate Studies in Ravensbourne, will be displayed at the International Kinetica Art Fair, a platform for new media art works and kinetic installations. Eye Resonator is an interactive art ecosystem that reacts…
