Robotics and automation have been changing how we interact with our world more frequently in the past few years.

From robotic vacuum cleaners to self-parking cars to smart houses, robotics has helped to make our world wore accessible and easier to live in.

But to create this level of technology, research into automation and robotics is needed.At UWA's Robotics and Automation lab, the team have been researching autonomous robots for more than 20 years.

Over that time, Professor Thomas Bräunl and his team have created some interesting experiments.
