Robot Autonomous Safety Guard demonstration at the Robots for Resilient Infrastructure Robotic Challenge Event 2017

Lucie, an intelligent mobile robot able to run autonomously for months in dynamic human environments, was demonstrated by Nick Hawes (University of Birmingham) and Tony Cohn (University of Leeds). The demonstration took place at the Robots for Resilient Infrastructure Robotic Challenge Event (27 to 28 June at Weetwood Hall, Leeds), part of the 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. Dr Nick Hawes explains more about the STRANDS project work that gave rise to Lucie and the value of attending the Robotics Challenge Event.
