Will robots change the way people work, live and learn in the future? This question will be explored during European Robotics Week, which this year will be hosted by the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL), a collaboration between the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol.
University of Bristol alumnus, Charlie Guy, has been crowned national ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and awarded £30,000 at the Shell Enterprise Development Awards 2019, to grow and develop his sustainable farming company LettUs Grow.
The University of Bristol has been selected as the new host of the UK Knowledge Exchange Hub for Mathematical Sciences (KE Hub), taking over from the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge from January 2026.
The work of academics from the University’s Systems Centre has been acknowledged for the second year running in the 2014 update of the UK's National Infrastructure Plan.
The billion-dollar pet industry now has a growing market dedicated to wearable devices but new research from the University of Bristol has found these devices capture more data on the owners rather than their pets.
A project to develop ‘biomimetic’ devices that re-orientate in response to light has been granted funding by the Leverhulme Trust.
Sophie McPhillips, a recent Bristol Civil Engineering graduate, has been named New Civil Engineer Graduate of the Year 2014.
Ants use collective decision-making to select the best option when choosing a new home. Until now, the exact way in which they do this has puzzled researchers. A new study, led by the University of Bristol and published in Royal Society Open Science, found that while some are happy to slum it out in anything with a roof, others are so choosy that even the equivalent of a mansion will not satisfy them.
As thousands of students return to the city for the new academic year, the University of Bristol has announced the next stage of its £525 million capital investment programme.
