Our team was recently awarded a new project ‘Robotic skill transfer and augmentation for contact-rich tasks in manufacturing (STAMAN) ‘. 

This £1M collaborative project funded by the EPSRC involves the University of Birmingham and the University of Sheffield, supported by nine industrial partners including world-leading companies Airbus and Caterpillar, as well as two UK national High-Value Manufacturing Catapult Centres: MTC and AMRC. Details to follow in the near future. Many congratulations to Dr Mo Qu and Dr Feiying Lan who made early-stage investigations into the topic and laid the foundation of this new project.
