Machine Vision is the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing, involving systems comprising additional components such as image acquisition systems (analogue and digital), input/output cards and actuators

In this application, a machine vision system has been set up to automatically detect defects and damage of industrial nozzles utilised in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) industry

The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.

A successful completion of a ground-breaking project the GUARDIANS at the Mobile Machine and Vision Laboratory at Centre for Automation and Robotics Research at Sheffield Hallam University

The I-SWARM project was awarded in December 2003 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 6th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the MiCRoN project.

The MiCRoN project was awarded on 8 March 2002 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 5th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the Miniman project.

The REPLICATOR project started in March 2008 under the European Union's 7th framework programme, in the theme of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

A new project which brings humans and robots together could help firefighters tackle low visibility and, eventually, provide a robotic alternative to guide dogs for visually-impaired people

The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
