Innovate UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council have together announced a £5m competition to boost the development of RAS (robotics and autonomous systems), hoping that such a prize may encourage businesses to develop autonomous technology for novel applications, and boosting the UK economy at the same time. Proposals for the funding, which…
The Autonomous Systems Laboratory at Stanford Aeronautics & Astronautics “have developed an algorithmic framework that allows for real-time motion planning/obstacle avoidance for high-speed robotic systems, such as quadrotors”, known as kinodynamic planning and means that robots can successfully navigate paths and obstacles to safely reach a destination. ASL have chosen to demonstrate the autonomy, responsiveness…
