Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems

Introduction

The centre builds on the world-leading and international excellence performance in the field of computer science, cognitive robotics and neural computation. Staff at the Centre coordinate large UK and FP7 projects (e.g. COLAMN, ITALK, SCANDLE, ROBOTDOC, ALIZ-E) and collaborate with the major international centres in cognitive robotics and computational neuroscience. The main areas of research carried out by the Centre are:

  • The application of mathematical and computational modelling, brain imaging, visualisation and cognitive modelling
  • The investigation and understanding of the interaction between humans and intelligent systems, with an enphasis on language and non verbal communication
  • The use of computational and robotics modelling methods to investigate cognitive functions
  • Humanoid robotics and human-robot interaction
  • The application of these models into the real-world robotic and interactive applications such as robot companions for hospitalised children and for elderly care.
