Robotics & Automation

AUTOMATE.ORG is the home for the Association for Advancing Automation, the leading global automation trade association of the robotics, machine vision, motion control, and industrial AI industries. Resources are provided on products, partners, new applications, training, and information on the latest technologies.

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society strives for the advancement of the theory and practice of robotics and automation engineering and science and of the allied arts and sciences, and for the maintenance of high professional standards among its members, all in consonance with the Constitution and Bylaws of the IEEE and with special attention to such aims within the Field of Interest of the Society.

The Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory at MIT focuses on designing and controlling robots using insights taken from the natural world. Many animals can display incredible feats of speed and agility that are sources of inspiration for the robots designed by the group.

NREC develops and matures robotics technologies and solutions from concept to commercialization. NREC also leads in educational outreach through its Robotics Academy, which creates robotics curricula and software for K-12 and college-level students.

The Robotics and Autonomous Systems Laboratory (RASL) provides dedicated workspaces for large unmanned system development and state-of-the-art sensors designed for integration on existing large-scale platforms for air, ground, and maritime domains. The laboratory is designed to accommodate for the needs of sense and avoid, swarms of cooperative autonomous and/or unmanned vehicles, and control scheme development for large platforms.

The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University was established in 1979 to conduct basic and applied research in robotics technologies relevant to industrial and societal tasks. Seeking to combine the practical and the theoretical, the Robotics Institute has diversified its efforts and approaches to robotics science while retaining its original goal of realizing the potential of the robotics field.

Robohub is a non-profit online communication platform that brings together experts in robotics research, start-ups, business, and education from across the globe. Robohub's mission is to connect the robotics community to the rest of the world.
