UK's largest robot lab opens for business

Published on May 10, 2012

The Bristol Robotics Laboratory is a partnership between UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) and the University of Bristol. BRL strives to understand the science, engineering and social role of robotics and embedded intelligence.

The BRL is home to a community of 70 academics and businesses who are leading current thinking in nouvelle and service robotics, intelligent autonomous systems and bio-engineering. Over ?1.65 million has been spent on the new facilities. The total area of the BRL is circa 2,400 sqm, with over 300 metres of specialised laboratory space and two Flying Arenas.

In this video, Professor Chris Melhuish, Director of the BRL, discusses the contributions the BRL will make to worldwide robotics research.

Immersive telepresence using a NAO robot

Demonstration of our immersive tele-presence system using a Kinect and Oculus Rift, to control control and head motion of a NAO robot. A stereo headset on NAO allows the controller to see from the robots point of view.
 

Interacting using a NAO robot as an avatar

Published on May 15, 2015

Early test of interaction using an Aldebaran NAO robot as an avatar for a remote person. As well as relaying tracked body motion, audio is streamed through the robot, and sound and vision are relayed to the operator. We are now beginning to test the effects of robot mediated interaction.
