Plymouth Humanoids
The Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems (CRNS) is the UK’s leading university developing small humanoid robots. Our robots are 40cm tall and use over 20 high-speed digital servo motors for controlling the movement of the head, arms and legs. They use the latest low power multi-processor architecture to process a range of camera and sensor information which is used to control robot balance, motion, navigation and game play strategy. The hardware and software is designed and developed by a team students and staff from computing, electronics, mechanics and robotics with the aim of winning international robot sport competitions.
In 2012 the Plymouth Humanoids became the first ever UK team to compete in the RoboCup Humanoid league, which is the robotic equivalent to the football World Cup. We also won gold in the marathon and silver in the sprint events at the FIRA International RoboWorld Cup athletics competition held in Bristol in August 2012. With over 15 years’ experience we aim to become the robot football world champions in 2014 and to inspire the next generation of robotics engineers.
