Heriot-Watt University EPSRC Core Equipment Award 2020

这项关于核心设备的提议是该大学在应对两个相互交织的工程研究挑战方面增强长期竞争力的战略的一部分，这两个挑战是为更健康的生活开发材料、工艺和制造，并通过数据、信号、通信、机器人和人工智能方面的创新创造一个更智能、更安全的世界。已在以下领域确定了应对这些挑战的关键技术能力：先进制造、传感器开发、数据通信和处理以及机器人和人工智能。我们正在要求核心设备来支持我们在这些领域的高度跨学科的世界级研究，这些研究都与EPSRC的产品组合密切相关。

This proposal for core equipment is part of the University's strategy to enhance its long-term competitiveness in addressing two intertwined Engineering research challenges, namely Developing materials, processes and manufacturing for healthier living and Creating a smarter, safer world by innovation in data, signals, comms, robotics and AI. Critical underpinning technical capability to address these challenges has been identified in the following areas; advanced manufacturing, sensor development, data communication & processing as well as robotics and artificial intelligence. We are requesting core equipment to support our highly-interdisciplinary world class research in these areas, which all closely align with the EPSRC portfolio.
