- Pompey Study Centre
The Pompey Study Centre first opened its doors in October 2000. It started with the Playing for Success scheme, opening from 4pm till 8pm Monday to Thursday. Pompey Study Centre in collaboration with the Open University has funded the project Planet Science. In order to assess the potential of children, it started RoboCup Junior robotics challenge competition. This fuels children's interest in scientific experimentation. It is instrumental in development of children's skills in applying their research findings to the solution of particular robotics related problems. It also encourage schools to participate in local and regional schools challenges in science and engineering.
- Australian Centre for Field Robotics
One of the limitations of human being is the difficulty faced in exploring underland or sea. Efforts are on to overcome this. Australian Centre for Field Robotics is working in this direction by developing robotic tools for use in demanding and often dangerous environments, which will allow exploration of areas beyond reach of man. Its current work is concerned with terrain-aided navigation techniques, sensor fusion and vehicle control architectures for real-time platform control.
- Stanford Dextrous Manipulation Laboratory
The Stanford Dextrous Manipulation Laboratory is affiliated with the Center for Design Research (CDR), which is part of the Design Division of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.
The areas of research in this laboratory are: Modeling and control of dextrous manipulation with robotic and tele- operated hands, Tactile sensing and haptic exploration with robotic fingers, Haptics and force-feedback in telemanipulation and virtual environments.
