Centre for Automation and Robotics Research
The Centre for Automation and Robotics Research (CARR) brings together robotics related research, teaching and consultancy. The mission of CARR is to be a focal point where diverse robotics and automation projects are developed alongside each other.
CARR creates a repository of practical solutions and knowledge, but at the same time can provide a source of inspiration for future developments. We welcome and support any robotics application, be it in art, health and wellbeing or industrial automation.

Mobile Machine and Vision Laboratory
About the laboratory
The expertise within the MMVL group includes artificial intelligence, computer vision, embedded systems engineering, electronic design, interaction design, mathematical modelling, robotics and swarm robotics.
The main theme of our research is on the connection of artificial perception and physical action. Perception requires extensive processing and interpreting of data generated by sensors. We employ a wide range of sensors and sensing techniques including various types of cameras (Normal light, IR, Thermal), Laser and Ultrasound devices and also chemical sensors produced in-house. Actions are typically performed by robots and multi robot systems, ranging from medium sized mobile robots to mini, micro and also nano robots. The robots and sensors are to be applied in ordinary environments and human machine interactions play an important role.
