An innovative interactive prototype demonstration by the RoboSHU<\/a> team including\u00a0Dr Louis Nisiotis<\/a> recently gained interest from international experts and won an award at the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0International Conference on Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Computer Graphics at\u00a0Santa Maria al Bagno, Italy.<\/p>\n

Dr Louis Nisiotis presents poster at 6th International Conference on Augmented Reality<\/p><\/div>\n

The prototype featured the\u00a0RoboSHU<\/em>\u00a0‘Virtual Reality Museum’, which includes information about the history of Robotics, the work of Sheffield Robotics and CARR. It is part of a research collaboration between C3RI<\/a>‘s Department of Computing and MERI’s\u00a0<\/a>Centre of Automation and Robotics Research<\/a>\u00a0(CARR).<\/p>\n

\"Dr

Dr Louis Nisiotis and team<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr Louis Nisiotis<\/a> from the Department of Computing presented a paper – ‘Virtual Museums as a New Type of Cyber-Physical-Social System’ –\u00a0<\/em>and demonstrated the prototype. The accompanying poster won “Best Poster Award<\/b>” and\u00a0a prize of 150 Euros, sponsored by leading academic publisher Springer.<\/p>\n

A number of papers related to this work by\u00a0Dr Lyuba Alboul<\/a> (CARR and Department of Maths and Engineering), Dr Louis Nisiotis<\/a> (Department of Computing and C3RI) and Dr Martin Beer have already been published.<\/p>\n

Currently, the team is focussing on technical aspects of developing the VR museum prototype and connecting people and robots to it.<\/p>\n

Dr Nisiotis explained, however, that:<\/p>\n

[…] the concept of the Virtual Museum can be perceived in a much broader sense, as a type of a Cyber-Physical-Social society that can be applied to a plethora of domains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The initial pilot prototype was first demonstrated at the “Being Human” festival<\/a> in November 2016.<\/p>\n

Dr Lyuba Alboul<\/a>, Senior Research Fellow and the Lab Manager of the Robotics Lab, says:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Please come and see our robot Fetch<\/strong> in action this Thursday 18th July between 15.00 and 17.00. Fetch will navigate in the STEM atrium (Sheaf) and you can see what Fetch will see.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are unable to come on that day, there is still a possibility to arrange an appointment with Fetch later. Since Robot Fetch can see but not yet speak and read, please send contact\u00a0<\/span>l [dot] Alboul [at] shu [dot] ac [dot] uk<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In meantime, you can visit our RoboSHU museum via<\/span>\u00a0http:\/\/www.virtualshu.com\/roboshu<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
