Centre for Automation and Robotics (CAR)
The
Centre for Automation
and Robotics (CAR) was created in November 2009 as a joint Research
Centre by the UPM ( Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and the CSIC
(Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). The
Centre was created with the following main objectives:
- To foster scientific excellence at international level in the fields of robotics and automation with a clear focus on applied research.
- To coordinate and lead research and development activities in the aforementioned areas.
- To promote cooperation with the industrial sector by development of appropriated technology transfer mechanisms and.
- To encourage establishment of required links with society to demonstrate the benefits of adopting an independent and reliable scientific knowledge based management.

The
Centre for Automation and Robotics is presently located at two main
places: the CSIC premises of the former IAI (Arganda del Rey, Madrid)
and the premises of the ETSII of the UPM (Madrid). The CAR
will
be moved in the next years to the new premises that are planned for the
Alcobendas site (North of Madrid).
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple and generally can be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
