Centre for Autonomous Robotics

We are taking research beyond the lab to develop a new generation of smart, flexible, robust and interconnected robotic systems fit for use in the real world.
Our Department's research activities span the breadth of the latest thinking in electronic and electrical engineering and sciences.
We are taking research beyond the lab to develop a new generation of smart, flexible, robust and interconnected robotic systems fit for use in the real world.
We address the grand challenges in human health and wellbeing through transdisciplinary and translatable bioengineering research.
We study the environment of the Earth and near-Earth space and their effects on advanced technological systems
We develop innovative technical, commercial solutions underpinning smart homes/businesses, smart mobility and smart grids.
We advance technologies in electronics materials, circuits and systems to develop the sensors, power electronics and applications of the future.
From improving the accuracy of GPS to digitalising our electricity network, find out about the impact our research is having.
Our methodologies can predict energy usage profiles and peak demand by monitoring only ~ 0.01% of the substations in an electricity distribution network.
Through space-based communication research we’ve influenced public policy and security. Our algorithms help keep GPS systems functioning and accurate.
Our researchers are developing unique lab-on-chip technology for faster and more accurate detection and diagnosis of COVID-19.
The oil industry can use imaging to detect different components within multiphase flows. Our research in this area led to the founding of two startup companies.
We have a range of facilities available for students, researchers and companies to use.
We provide access and training on specialist equipment for micro-scale and nano-scale fabrication for University of Bath researchers and external organisations.
Whether you are starting your research career or looking for a change, we may have the right opportunity for you.
We'll help you prepare your application for external funding opportunities and host your fellowship at Bath.
