On June 23, 2021, sixteen teams from some of the UK's top robotics research centers showcased their groundbreaking research at Robot Lab Live.

The Extreme Robotics Lab specializes in creating robotics for use in extreme environments and situations. This demo showed a remote-controlled vehicle with its own intelligent control system, which can take control when it is confident it can complete the task, or, if the driver thinks the driver cannot complete the task! They also showed how to build a digital version of the vehicle environment so they can safely explore it as a digital twin using a virtual reality headset. Finally, they used intelligent robot manipulation algorithms to control a robotic arm mounted on the vehicle.
