Robotics
With recent advances in sensing, motor control, computational power and communications technologies, as well as significant investment from both governments and private investors, the field of robotics is gaining momentum. From simple, independent robots focused on single tasks, to highly complex systems of interacting robotic devices, we are seeing growing interest in how robotics can be used across industries including medical, industrial, oil & gas, military and consumer products.
With multi-disciplinary teams and technical capabilities in software, mechanical systems, electronics and human-machine interfaces, we have experience partnering with commercial organizations from well-funded start-ups through to global companies focusing on robotics-based technology and product developments.
Areas of expertise
