FARSCOPE Industry Open Day

FARSCOPE CDT organised an industry open day at Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) to showcase it's research and facilities. This was an opportunity for companies and members of the general public interested in Robotics and Autonomous Systems to come and hear from academics and PhD students about their research, see demonstrations of leading technologies, learn about the facilities available at the BRL and explore potential for collaborations.
BRL Research Internships

BRL research interns benefit from gaining work experience in a real professional academic environment.

A Research internship offers students the chance to obtain work experience in their field of interest and see how theories are applied in real life. Bristol Robotics Laboratory is the largest robotics laboratory of its type in the UK and welcomes applicants of the highest calibre.

In BRL, research interns are given the chance to work in teams with our established research staff. The project assigned to them will depend on their area of interest and past experience but will form part of our interdisciplinary research portfolio which spans over a number of different themes.
