Autonomous Systems : A Pervasive Technology The Oxford Robotics Institute researches all aspects of land based mobile autonomy.

We invent the technologies that allow machines to ask and answer “Where am I?”, “What surrounds me?” and “What should I do next?” These three key questions underpin all that we do. They force us to confront fundamental questions in navigation, perception, machine learning and systems design. We are proud of the way we validate our thinking and challenge ourselves by deploying and running large ro

ORI is excited to announce that it will be exhibiting at the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition! 🎊

Researchers will be showcasing the future of assembly with demonstrations from Frank, the bimanual robot, as well as the Institute’s soft hand robot. Attendees will get to test their building skills and experience first-hand the challenges of robotic control and perception in real-world scenarios. 🤖

📍Date: 30 June to 5 July
🗺️Location: 6 - 9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG

Our team’s SafeEstMDP algorithm is pushing the boundaries of autonomous robotics by enabling Spot to explore hazardous environments - safely, quickly, and without human intervention.

Using real-time mapping and hazard awareness, the robot can make smart decisions to avoid danger while building a 3D map of its surroundings.

From radiation zones to underwater terrain, we’re preparing robots for the world’s toughest challenges.
