Sheffield Centre of Robotics: TAROS 2011 provides the opportunity for the local hosts - Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield - to launch their new city-wide initiative for robotics research. The Sheffield Centre for Robotics (SCentRo) will bring together five existing research groups across the two Universities with the aim of enhancing inter-disciplinary research and raising the profile of robotics research in Sheffield.

Location: The City of Sheffield is built on seven hills and near the confluence of five rivers, it borders on to the UK's largest national park (the Peak district). The city is known for its industrial heritage, current hi-tech industries, and as a cultural hub for South Yorkshire.
Looking forwards to seeing you in Sheffield.
