A UWF team received a grant for the acquisition of advanced robotic platforms and equipment to significantly enhance their ability to develop, test, and deploy mobile robotic systems in real-world environments. A key component will be the acquisition of a Boston Dynamics Spot robot, which will serve as a platform for research on autonomy and human-machine teaming.
The acquisition of advanced robotic platforms will provide  unique research opportunities and strengthen the position of the region in cutting-edge robotics education, says researcher Hakki Erhan Sevil. Upgrades to existing robotic platforms will also enable research on dexterous manipulation for tasks.
