NEW: We have developed a hybrid Aquatic Micro Aerial Vehicle (AquaMAV) that dives like a gannet and launches like a flying fish, to collect water samples. It was published in the December 2016 issue of Royal Society Interface Focus.

Aerial Additive Building Manufacturing is a UK EPSRC funded research project that will develop an aerial robotic construction system that enables aerial robots to 3D print building structures autonomously

We won the prestigious 2016 UAE Drones for Good competition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Our aerial robot for repairing pipeline leaks, Buildrone, topped the list of more than 1000 submissions from 165 countries in an event dubbed 'the world cup of drones'

Dive into the world of autonomous flying robots and join us in our endeavour to develop the next generation of flying robots. We focus on a range of applications that include search and rescue, in-situ repair with flying robots, environmental monitoring and exploration of hazardous environments.

Our new drone testing facility, the £1.25m Brahmal Vasudevan Aerial Robotics Lab will allow development and testing of next-generation flying robots. The facility is currently under construction and is due to be completed in Summer 2017

The autonomous construction agents that we developed were exhibited in the semi-permanent antenna gallery at the London Science museum for 9 months, allowing the museum's approximately 1 million visitors to interact with the technology.
