Research and Innovation Center for Robotics (RICR) is a young, dynamically growing group which belongs to Islamic Azad University, Mashhad Branch, Iran. Currently, a combination of some faculty members and sharp, hardworking students from different fields of study are doing active research in the field of robotics. The Research and Innovation Center for Robotics tries to cooperate with other scien
tific associations within the university of Azad University, Mashhad Branch. Research and Innovation Center for Robotics benefits from an interdisciplinary cooperation: computer scientists, informatics specialists, electrical and electronic engineers, mechanical engineers, metallurgy engineers, and, last but not least, industrial designers. With a long term goal to satisfy the direct industrial orders or publicly funded joint projects, the Research and Innovation Center for Robotics designs and assemble intelligent robots for a variety of applications, such as aerial robotics, underwater robotics, SAR (Search and Rescue), and service robotics. However, the main focus of RICR lies currently on the areas of aerial robots, rescue robots, and soccer robots. Finally, we are always open to new connections between Research and Innovation Center for Robotics and the other robotic research groups or centers from all over the world. We strongly believe that improvement cannot be achieved without goal-oriented communications. Therefore, we are really eager to cooperate and share our knowledge with other research institutes.
