The Indoor Robotics Flight Test Facility is a large netted area (10m x 10m x 4m) used for testing robots indoors. The laboratory is equipped with a 20 camera motion capture system that tracks the position and orientation of multiple robots at speeds up to 200 times per second. The position signals can be used to either control and navigate robots and drones or can be used to benchmark other results. The laboratory is a key piece of infrastructure within the School of Engineering & IT and supports multiple research projects, PhD and undergraduate projects.
