About The Cobot Maker Space
The space is a vibrant, multi-purpose facility for human-robot interaction research and supports three kinds of activity:
Creation - enabling researchers to explore human-robot collaboration across a wide range of domains from assistive technologies to manufacturing, to creative performance.
Research - enabling research into how humans can interact with collaborative robots – co-bots – in more richly embodied ways.
Deployment – a public-facing space to for deploying and studying cobots, including opportunities for them meeting the public.
Facilities include:
Lab Space offering flexible space to assemble, trial and research ideas which is fitted with biometric sensors, data processing facilities and recording equipment – for instant switching between making and researching.
A Workshop equipped with a range of tools and a 3D printer to support rapid prototyping.
A Living Space resembling the appearance of an office or living room, which allows people to test their ideas in an everyday environment.
