Centre for Robotic Autonomy in Demanding and Long-lasting Environments – The CRADLE Prosperity Partnership brings together the industrial experience that Amentum has in applied robotics and autonomous Systems with the research expertise at The University of Manchester in this field, to create a collaborative research centre that is internationally leading and sustainable in the long term. Our vision for CRADLE is that it will deliver novel and transformational technology for demanding, dirty and dangerous environments, removing humans from harm, allowing its benefits to be realised across wide sectors of UK markets and beyond. In accordance with the ambitions of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), CRADLE demonstrates how business and academia can come together to co-create and co-deliver research and innovation that addresses industry driven challenges and delivers economic and societal impact.
