We collaborate to make the world a better place

From exploring the deepest oceans to soaring through the night sky, robots are everywhere. They dive where humans never could, diagnose diseases with unmatched precision, drive our vehicles, and orbit far beyond our reach. Wherever they go, robots extend human potential, make us think smarter, and develop faster.

At the Robotics Centre, we combine decades of research, education, and innovation in human-centred robotics. Our mission:  To make the world a better place. We do this by developing intelligent robotic solutions that address the world's most pressing challenges in industry, healthcare, and society.

Under Construction

We are currently redesigning this website to improve accessibility and presentation. Information is still correct; however, some pages and links may be malfunctioning or incomplete during the redesign. We apologise for any confusion and appreciate your patience.

Our community of creative and critical thinkers design robotic systems that make a real difference. Here, ideas take shape, prototypes come alive, and collaboration drives impact. We are students, teachers, researchers, and partners.

If you'd like to contribute to this cause with your ideas or projects, please get in touch with us.

Key Domains

If you can dream it, we can build it. However, since our imagination truly knows no limits, we focus our efforts where robots can make the biggest difference:


Projects

At the Robotics Centre, our projects turn imagination into innovation. From robots that operate inside MRI scanners to exoskeletons that move with human precision, and drones that fly upside down. We push the boundaries of what robots can do.

Each project combines creativity, research, and collaboration to advance the state of the art and make a difference in the world.
