Robot Arena

Merlin's MiabotPRO Autonomous Robot Platform, its vision processing camera systems and MiabotPRO AI software formed part of one of the world's most ambitious robotics exhibitions to ever take place in Dundee - The Robot Arena.

Unlike other robotics installations which are normally 'human' interactive, whereby a human controller directly affects the movement of a robot, the Robot Arena involved the use of 'Autonomous Robotics', where the robots make second-by-second decisions and the human controller simply sets the objectives / priorities.

Apart from the visually impressive display the Robot Arena established a number of technical milestones in the world of robotics entertainment:

Provided fully autonomous operation / Ran 10 hours a day, 364 days a year with a minimum of operational input / Tracked the position of 7 robots, simultaneously in 'real time' over a vast 5m arena / Featured automated and remote diagnostics / Utilised state-of-the-art Bluetooth communications systems / Demonstrated the future of robotics and taught key elements of the Nation D&T Curriculum.
