The Newcastle Robotics Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research and training initiative of several robotics related research teams from different research areas including applied mathematics, architecture, computer science, control, electrical engineering, neuroscience, mechatronics and software engineering.
A significant market growth in robotics and smart technology related areas has been predicted for the coming years. The Newcastle Robotics Laboratory addresses this development by providing world-class training of experts and applying cutting-edge research in robot control, computer vision, communications, data analysis, localisation, machine learning, space perception, world modelling, and human-robot interaction to a variety of innovative tasks and projects.
The lab's activities reach from outreach to school students (RoboCup Junior), our various robotics related undergraduate degrees, postgraduate degrees, and workshops, to industry placements and large-scale research projects.
Central to the lab has been for more than twelve years the NUbot team (RoboCup world champions in 2006 and 2008) that uses the Kid-Size Humanoid robot soccer league domain as a well-defined test bed to develop solutions for wider application in other research and application areas. These days the lab comprises a variety of research projects and is linked to several research groups and centres including CDSC, CIBER, CIBM, RobotX , the Helicopter Team and HMRI.
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
