Major Boost To UK Robotics Capability With Launch of EPSRC UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network
The UKs ability to develop and exploit the vast potential of Robotics and Autonomous Systems was given a major boost today with the formal launch of The EPSRC UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network (UK-RAS Network).
Widespread backing for UK robotics network
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has announced the launch of a new robotics network that aims to foster academic and industry collaboration.
The UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network (UK-RAS Network) will have a strong academic foundation, with a number of universities acting as founding members. According to the EPSRC, the network has already received strong support from major industrial partners, as well as from professional bodies such as Royal Academy of Engineering, IET, and The Institute of Mechanical Engineers.
Globally, the market for service and industrial robots is estimated to reach $59.5 billion by 2020. A primary aim of the network will be to bring the UK’s academic capabilities under national coordination, fuelling innovation in the robotics sector and taking advantage of the growth in the industry.

New incremental encoder IERF3 L from FAULHABER
FAULHABER is expanding its product range with the ultra-precise incremental encoder IERF3 L. Thanks to the optical measuring principle and state-of-the-art chip technology, the device offers the highest resolution, excellent repeatability, and outstanding signal quality. In typical applications, the positioning accuracy is 0.1° and the repeatability 0.007°. This makes the encoder the perfect solution for high-precision positioning applications in confined spaces.
