Welcome to the Newcastle Robotics Laboratory

The Newcastle Robotics Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research initiative of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Statistics at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Our robot soccer competition team - The NUbots - competed in the RoboCup Four-Legged League 2002-2007 using Sony AIBO robots. The NUbots won the World Championship at RoboCup 2006 in Bremen, Germany. They were placed second at the worldcups in 2005 and 2007, and third in 2004, 2003, and 2002. Our researchers have expertise in areas such as:

  • Adaptive Control
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Bayesian Learning
  • Classification and Clustering
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Data Mining Techniques
  • Digital Control
  • Digital Image Processing
  • Dimensionality Reduction
