Abstract
Robotic and autonomous systems, identified by the UK government as one of the ‘eight great technologies’, are revolutionizing our lives, the economy and human society The multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists and clinicians are developing novel robotic systems and the underpinning technologies with the aim of improving people’s lives and satisfying human curiosity. Whether it’s designing systems to help patients recover after stroke or building robots to explore previously unseen chambers in the great pyramids of Egypt, they are recognised as being at the forefront of robot design and construction. http://robotics.leeds.ac.uk/
