A new centre of excellence dedicated to designing the next generation of robots supported with state-of-the-art AI technologies has been launched at The University of Manchester. 

The University's Manchester Centre for Robotics and AI pulls together experts and projects from across the academic disciplines who share the challenge of working on the front line of applied robotic technologies. 

For example, Manchester researchers are looking to develop robotic systems that are able to explore in the most extreme environments, such as those found in the nuclear industry, power generation or agriculture. Other expertise includes designing robots to support digital manufacture or work in the field of medicine and health.
