In July 2021, the Intelligent Automation Centre announced the award of £1.4 million worth of EPSRC funding for a three year project called Industrial Robots-as-a-Service (IRaaS) – Resilient and responsive manufacturing systems enabled by rapidly deployable mobile robots, which is aimed at boosting the uptake of robots in small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses and will research ways to more easily change, adapt and repurpose automated systems.
This project was offically launched yesterday at Burleigh Court Conference Centre, located on º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ's campus and was attended by a multidisciplinary team from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, together with representatives from the 17 external partner organisations involved in this project.
An excellent day was had by all and we look forward to providing regular up-dates on the progress of this exciting new project.
