About us 

The York Robotics Laboratory is a purpose built facility located on Baird Lane behind the TFTV building on Campus East, a short walk from the Department of Computer Science and the Ron Cooke Hub.  The lab contains a large 80 square meter, double-height arena space, equipped with multiple robotic tracking systems, a teaching\research classroom area and a technical workshop area.  The design of the arena allows for research into autonomous flying vehicles (drones), and features a controlled lighting system ensuring repeatability of results.  The lab is supported by a full-time technician, Dr James Hilder, who is co-employed by the departments of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.
