About Research & Education Robotics
Robotics plays an increasingly important role in education, research, and innovation. Educational robotics platforms help students learn programming, engineering, electronics, AI, and automation, while research platforms provide advanced capabilities for experimentation, prototyping, and scientific investigation.
Universities, research institutions, laboratories, schools, and innovation centres use robotics platforms to explore autonomous navigation, manipulation, computer vision, machine learning, human-robot interaction, and emerging technologies. Selecting the right platform depends on learning objectives, research requirements, available resources, and technical expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Educational robotics uses robots and robotics platforms as teaching tools to help students learn
programming, engineering, electronics, mathematics, computer science, and problem-solving skills.
A research robotics platform is a robot designed for experimentation, development, and scientific
investigation. These systems often provide advanced sensors, computing hardware, ROS support,
and flexible expansion options.
Universities typically use robotics platforms that support ROS, AI development, autonomous navigation,
computer vision, robotic manipulation, and research-grade sensors. The best platform depends on the
specific research objectives and budget.
Yes. Many educational and research robotics platforms support ROS or ROS 2, allowing students
to gain practical experience with industry-standard robotics software tools.
Robotics can be used to teach programming, electronics, engineering, mathematics, physics,
artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, computer vision, and systems integration.
Educational robots are typically designed for learning and ease of use, while research robots
provide greater flexibility, performance, expandability, and access to advanced robotics technologies.
Yes. Robotics platforms are widely used for AI research involving machine learning,
computer vision, autonomous navigation, reinforcement learning, human-robot interaction,
and intelligent decision-making systems.
Simulation allows students and researchers to test algorithms, navigation systems,
and robot behaviours safely before deploying them to physical hardware. It also reduces
development costs and accelerates experimentation.
ROS provides a standard software framework used by researchers worldwide. It enables rapid
development, code reuse, sensor integration, simulation, navigation, and collaboration between teams.
Yes. Many research platforms are designed for expansion and customisation, allowing users to add
sensors, robotic arms, AI hardware, communication systems, and specialised payloads.
