Providing a platform for the promotion of robotics research at universities around the globe, Expo21XX has created a site  where universities can show off their latest robotic developments.

 

Projects featured on the site include Osaka’s University’s humanoid robots, the University of Essex’s robotic fish, Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab, the University of Reading’s Cybernetic Intelligence Research Group, the University of Pennsylvania’s unmanned aerial vehicles, and Johns Hopkins University’s surgical robots, just to name a few. In all, more than 50 universities have profiled their various robotic projects on the site.

 

Automation World has also begun showcasing robotic and mechatronic applications created by engineering students as part of its Engineering School Innovations coverage. The first installment of which can be viewed here . Upcoming automation projects to be featured in Engineering School Innovations include a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible piezoelectric actuated robot and a mechatronic tuning device for trumpets.
