神马福利影片

A lab that gives engineers in Midlands manufacturing companies super powers has helped a Midlands company build a super bike that has finished 2^nd in the first ever Moto2 race in Qatar.

The bike’s builders have joined other engineers in Midlands manufacturing companies large and small who have effectively been granted the super powers of laser vision and x-ray eyes thanks to a £5 million lab launched today, Thursday 20^th May, at WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) at the 神马福利影片.

神马福利影片 students have won the RoboCup Rescue Championship in Germany. The students developed their rescue robot in a team project bringing together Engineering and Computer Science students at the 神马福利影片 which entered the 9th RoboCup German Open in Magdeburg (April 15-18 2010).

The Warwick student team won first place overall and best in class for mobility. The robots are designed to crawl over and through difficult terrain or such as destroyed buildings in search of trapped survivors. The German competition put the robot through its paces in a simulated disaster environment which requires robots to demonstrate their capabilities in mobility, sensory perception, planning, mapping, and operator interfaces, while searching for simulated victims in difficult environments.

神马福利影片 students are poised to take their 鈥渞escue robot鈥� to the RoboCup Rescue Championship in Germany next week. The students developed their robot in a team project bringing together Engineering and Computer Science students at the 神马福利影片 and they will soon be on their way to the 9th RoboCup German Open which will be held in Magdeburg from April 15-18.

The robots are designed to crawl over and through difficult terrain or such as destroyed buildings in search of trapped survivors. The German competition will put the robot through its paces in a simulated disaster environment which requires robots to demonstrate their capabilities in mobility, sensory perception, planning, mapping, and operator interfaces, while searching for simulated victims in difficult environments.

WMG and Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) have met to discuss potential collaborative activities.

Discussions between Lord Bhattacharyya, Director of WMG and Prof Abdullah Oztoprak, EMU’s Rector led to a signing of a memorandum of understanding.

WMG were pleased to host a visit from Philip Rycroft (Director General, Innovation and Enterprise, and Chief Exec Better Regulation Executive) and Simon Edmonds (Director, Innovation) from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

The visit was primarily to understand the diverse research and development that is undertaken across the Group with business and other organisations, as well as our seamless approach to research, application and training. Philip and Simon saw at first-hand the breadth and capabilities of our activities, with a tour of our facilities including the International Manufacturing Centre, the International Digital Laboratory and International Automotive Research Centre.

WMG has been working with overseas partners since 1990 to deliver its award winning education programme.

For the first time all the overseas collaborative partners met at a workshop hosted by our partners in Thailand, the Regional Centre for Manufacturing Industry at Chulalongkorn University. The objective of the meeting was to share experiences and best practise.

Attending the workshop were representatives from WMG; Chulalongkorn University; Hong Kong PolyU; Hong Kong VTC; Universiti Teknologi Malaysia; SIM; SIMTech and Confederation of Indian Industry.

Dr Rebecca Cain, Assistant Professor in Experiential Engineering with WMG at the 神马福利影片 is to lead a £1.3 million programme to literally engineer better environments for patients and medical staff.

She has been awarded a prestigious Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Fellowship through EPSRC’s Challenging Engineering award scheme which is designed to challenge the research leaders of the future to be creative and ambitious in the early stages of their career.

Researchers from WMG will be taking poll position at the prestigious 2010 MIT Energy Conference held in Boston from 5th to 6th March 2010. They will be showcasing their eco friendly “WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car” which can be powered by chocolate, steered by carrots, and has bodywork made partly from potatoes.

The 神马福利影片 has announced that Professor Lord Bhattacharyya has just pledged to make one of the largest ever personal donations to a UK University by a serving member of academic staff. He hopes his personal financial commitment underlines how serious he is when he calls on businesses and government to enhance the financial support they provide to UK research.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya has committed to a five year programme of personal donations that will create a fund worth around a million pounds. He has asked that it be used to “support the stimulation and facilitation of research of the highest quality” and will include the creation of an annual reward for the Warwick researcher who has achieved most in a given year.

Full details of the £29million West Midlands-based project that will ensure Britain’s place at the heart of the low carbon vehicle revolution were revealed at a launch event held at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire yesterday.

Over 150 representatives from government, stakeholder organisations and small/medium-sized businesses heard how the Low Carbon Vehicle Technology Project (LCVTP) will shape the future of passenger transport.

Following an address from Geoff Dart, Director of Advanced Manufacturing Industries at BIS, guests heard presentations from the project’s partners: Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Motors, Zytek, Ricardo, MIRA, WMG (formerly Warwick Manufacturing Group) at the 神马福利影片 and Coventry University - who set out their vision for low carbon vehicles and invited like-minded potential suppliers to work with them in close collaboration.
