To undertake research in 3D semantic mapping, autonomous navigation, coordination and cooperation of multiple heterogeneous robots under the Collaboration Agreement in respect of the establishment of the UK EPSRC-funded Programme Grant Project National Centre for Nuclear Robotics (NCNR).
The Autonomous Mobile Robotics in Extreme Environments (AMREE) Lab is a new and emerging laboratory at Plymouth University pursuing cutting edge research activities in the field of Computer Vision, Perception, Artificial Intelligence and Robot Learning applied to autonomous robot-assisted response in hazards, prevention and safety-critical operations.
The mission of this research laboratory is to provide deep knowledge understanding and highly-valued competences to develop advanced robotic solutions in mobile manipulation motion planning and control supporting humans in those real-world domain applications where the magnitudes of hazards and risks reach the point that human exposure would either represent a direct threat to life or long-term health consequences.
This contributed to establishing the Autonomous Mobile Robotics in Extreme Environments Research Laboratory within the University with the aim of designing and developing advanced robotic solutions for extreme domain applications. These resources will be committed to the project as well.
