Robotics
A range of high-quality resources for Electronic Engineering and Computer Science are available on the web. For subject specific resources look at these guides:
Robotics
- Ericson Mar's Robotic Links: A very comprehensive list of links to a wealth of robotics information.
- Homebrew Robotics Lectures: A robotic enthusiast group from Silicon Valley, which gathers beginners, experts and professionals. They have posted some useful videos from their meetings.
- Inbots: European Union funded project which is aiming to promote and set up collaborations around interactive robotics.
- Karakuri.info: Providing information about the Japanese tradition of mechanical dolls.
- NASA – Robotics: Videos and other multimedia covering NASA's work with robotics, such as the lunar rover.
- Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI): Searchable index of many topics, from US government; gives access to a significant number of freely available reports and presentation around robotics.
- QUT Robot Academy: Over 200 freely available lessons about aspects of robotics.
- Robocup: Created to encourage robotic research. Now lots of events are organised to support their mission themes.
- Robohub: Platform which aims to connect experts within business and universities.
- Robots - Your guide to the world of robotics: An initiative from IEEE, where they present different types of robots from various part of the world with useful information about the projects.
- Soft Robotics Toolkit: Resource created in a cooperation between Harvard University and Trinity College Dublin, centring around soft robotics, focusing especially on medical applications.
Projects of interest
- Humanoid Robotics Group: Provides information about the MIT humanoid robotics projects (which possibly ended around 2003). It does include full-text papers from a number of conferences which the group attended.
- iCub.org: Documents the humanoid robot iCub, created by Instituto Italiano Di Tecnologia.
- Intelligent Robotics Lab: Robotic research group at the University of Birmingham. Contains links to the group member’s papers and information about current and past projects.
- Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence: Interdisciplinary research centre exploring the opportunities and challenges to humanity from the development of artificial intelligence.
- Organic Robotics Lab: Research group at Cornell University. Contains lots of interesting information in different formats about their work and research.
- Robonaut2: Documents the NASA created humanoid robot.
Standards
- Standards - IEEE Robotics and Automation Society: Standards produced by RAS, a subgroup of IEEE.
- Standards by ISO/TC 299 - Robotics: Standards produced by the Robotics subgroup of International Standards. Covers standards around robotics, but excludes toys and military applications.
