Organisation profile

EUREKA Robotics Centre is profiled by the UK government as one of the 11 specialist centres in the UK to access cutting-edge Social Robotics facilities (i.e. over 120 robots) and long-term healthcare service robotics R&D.  We are the member of prominent UK-RAS and Network Committee, leader in PIE for Women programme through educational Robotics STEM workshops, impacting over 30,000 women and girls. We have contributed to the National Policies, Good Practices and Guides of Humanoid Robotics:  

As one of the flagship research clusters at the Cardiff School of Technologies, EUREKA Robotics Centre based in Wales but serves the global stakeholders in Malaysia, Europe, Pakistan, Indonesia, China and India and has developed Wales 7 Tokku Zones. EUREKA stands for Ethical tokkU zone with Robotics driving Eureka Knowledge Accelerator with the meaning of “exclamation of satisfaction on discovering something, solving a problem, finding a solution with fun and engaging experience in safe and ethical experimental zones”. Partnering with national and international collaborators from industries, universities and public sectors, the current research groups in the Centre are as follows:  

  1. Healthcare Robotics Lab with Intelligent Robot (IR) Maker Lab for 3D design and 3D printing robotic parts.
  2. STEAM Lab and Outreach CSR for STEM with Educational Humanoid Robotics workshops in the UK and world-wide.
  3. Autonomous Robotics Lab with fundamental machine learning and applied AI for mobile robots and ROV/AUV.
  4. Bioengineering / BioAI Research Group.
  5. Early Career Researcher (ECR).
