NERIC – Academic Materials
The North of England Robotics Innovation Centre (NERIC) is a cornerstone of the university’s dedication to industry collaboration and innovation. With a £16 million facility, co-funded by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Research England (RE), NERIC serves as a hub for SMEs in Greater Manchester, facilitating design, testing, and validation of cutting-edge robotics and automation technologies.
Proudly based in the North of England, we’re committed to sharing research, insights, and perspectives through papers authored by academics, professors, and lecturers from the University of Salford.
