A BhamXR network visit to the Extreme Robotics Lab, bringing together researchers interested in robotics, immersive technologies, sensing, movement, autonomy and human-centred interaction.
The VR Lab joined a BhamXR visit to the Extreme Robotics Lab in the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham to connect researchers working across robotics, immersive technology and human-centred interaction.
The visit created space to explore how robotics and XR can inform one another, from sensing and control to teleoperation, embodied interfaces, simulation, movement analysis and future collaborative research.
Watch the robotics demonstration video.
For the VR Lab, visits like this are an important part of BhamXR’s network activity: they help researchers discover shared technical challenges, identify opportunities for collaboration, and connect students and staff with facilities across the University.
