Bristol Robotics Laboratory publications: 2013

The Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) was established in 2004 when it became a joint venture between the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol. BRL evolved from the former Intelligent Autonomous Systems Laboratory (IAS) at UWE.
