Dandan Zhang reflects on joining Bristol Robotics Laboratory and its interdisciplinary work on adaptive robots, human interaction and uncertain environments.

It’s my great pleasure to join Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL). BRL is the UK’s largest academic centre for multi-disciplinary robotics research.

It’s constructed based on a unique collaboration between University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and University of Bristol (UoB).

“The primary mission of BRL is to understand the science, engineering and social role of robotics and embedded intelligence. In particular, the key challenges surrounding adaptive robotics, namely: dealing with people and their unpredictability, unstructured and uncertain environments, and equipping robots for flexible roles. .”

AI-generated conceptual illustration. An open welcoming robotics laboratory doorway frames small workbenches for sensing, soft robotics and human-robot collaboration connected by delicate branching lines; a generic researcher enters with a notebook. Concept: joining an interdisciplinary robotics community and finding new research connections.
