A robot that can monitor and navigate its way round a dynamic environment to complete tasks with minimum input from a human operator was demonstrated by a team from the University of Edinburgh. The demonstration took place at the Robots for Resilient Infrastructure Robotic Challenge Event (27 to 28 June at Weetwood Hall, Leeds), part of UK Robotics Week 2017, which showcased the current state-of-the-art of robotics for infrastructure through a packed programme of talks and demonstrations. The event brought together over 80 academics, industry, policy makers and stakeholders to explore the use of robotics in the creation, inspection, repair and maintenance of critical infrastructure. Here Wolfgang Merkt explains more about how their system works and the value of attending the Robotics Challenge Event.
