Meet “Shakey” – the world’s first robot to embody artificial intelligence. Shakey could perceive its surroundings, logically deduce implicit facts from explicit ones, navigate from place to place, make a plan to achieve a goal, monitor the execution of a plan in the real world, recover from errors in plan execution, improve its planning abilities through learning, and communicate in simple English. Shakey was created from 1966-72 by the Artificial Intelligence Center at Stanford Research Institute
Our company Shakey Robotics Innovators Ltd has taken the
name of this first ever robot to ensure its memory, and the pioneering efforts of the team of engineering innovators that led its development, never fades!
Staying true to everything that Shakey stood for in 1966 - for each and every unique project we assemble a team of leading academia and business innovators, all world leaders in their respective fields, as we look to develop the next generation of robotic devices for the benefit of future generations.
Current projects :- UK MOD - Subsea Hull Cleaning and inspection device, which requires to operate autonomously in all sea conditions, navigate, clean, inspect, record and transmit data as required.
Collaborartion Team assembled :-

TPGroup plc
Its Autonomy & Spatial Modelling team lead the world
in the development of novel and innovative
technology systems in this area.
Having created a suite of technologies, consisting of optimised autonomous marine and land navigation, predictive maintenance scheduling and dynamically constrained resource optimisation, as well as high volume data processing AI capabilities to work through inconsistent data sets to provide analysis ensuring situational and circumstantial awareness.
Simon Marr, Research Consultant
Simon Marr, is a Chartered Engineer whose early career was spent developing real-time mission-critical SCADA systems. For the last 10 years Simon has worked primarily in Subsea Asset Integrity in various business development roles in Digital Video, Robotics, Simulation and Intervention. Simon currently works for the University of Edinburgh Bayes Centre for Data-Driven Innovation and is focussed on developing relationships with industry to support Centres for Doctorial Training, Contract and Collaborative Research Projects and investment in Entrepreneurial activities across all data-aligned Schools and Centres of Excellence. Simon can connect this project team with research expertise in the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics, ORCA Hub, Stokes Research Group, and more widely tap into expertise in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Image Processing, Autonomy and Security across the rest of the University and advise on co-funding and investment opportunities.
