A new facility for human-robot interaction research designed to support industry in exploring the use of this technology has been launched today at the University of Nottingham.
The new Cobot Maker Space is on Innovation Park own Jubilee campus and is designed to provide a dedicated facility for research and industry collaboration into new innovations in robots and artificial intelligence (AI), and to explore ways to enhance human-robot interaction in a range of real life scenarios – from business and manufacturing to home life with social and rehabilitation robots.
The new facility will enable researchers to create human – robot scenarios with conditions that resemble real production environments. It will also enable research into how people interact with robots and how new human sensing technologies can be used. There is also a public facing space within the Cobot Maker Space to…
