To ensure safe and efficient operation, electric actuators should be controlled on a suitable operative environment, which includes temperature and pressure as well. Read more
Supervisory Team: Chris Holmes, Pier Sazio, Nuria Garcia, Andrew Hector. Project description. Ensuring the safety of lithium batteries is a top priority in battery development. Read more
Articulated joints make up much of the conventional robotic systems, however, the rigidity of these systems despite artificially enhanced safety through algorithms remains a safety concern owing to critical algorithmic limitations and failures. Read more
The adoption of autonomous robots for industrial inspection holds significant appeal, primarily due to their capacity to operate in various environments without concern for safety and health hazards. Read more
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of engineering components with a high degree of geometric complexity. This geometric complexity makes the measurement and inspection of metal AM components very difficult. Read more
Reducing the emissions of naval craft is a challenge with increasing and more complex payload demands and operational requirements in all weather conditions. . Read more
Supervisory Team. Dr Bahareh Zaghari, Dr George Callender, Prof Paul Lewin. The global push for Net Zero aviation by 2050 demands unprecedented innovation. Read more
Accessing and manipulating objects in confined spaces poses major challenges in robotics, yet these capabilities are crucial across many fields. Read more
Autonomous driving of intelligent vehicles has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its ability to reduce traffic congestion problems, improve traffic throughput and enhance safety of highway traffic. Read more
Gait deficits affect millions of individuals worldwide due to various conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and age-related mobility issues. Read more
The Centre for Robotic Autonomy in Demanding and Long-lasting Environments (CRADLE) is an EPSRC-funded Prosperity Partnership that brings together the industrial experience that Amentum has in applied robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) with the research expertise at the University of Manchester in this field.
