The 3rd Round of applications for OHMC funding is OPEN
Our vision is to put people at the centre of the machine intelligence revolution, to create disruptive solutions for our societal challenges by transforming the fundamental understanding of human-machine collaboration. Human-machine collaboration technologies are urgently required for many high-impact societal challenges, e.g. social distancing in schools/offices, replacement and enhancement of medics/carers in hospitals, and manual labourers in food supply chains, triggered by natural disasters (Covid-19 pandemic), geopolitical issues (Brexit), and global megatrends (Global Warming and Food Crisis).
This revolution must be founded on collaborative experimental space with high-resolution and multi-modal experimental data, in which interdisciplinary researchers (in robotics, computer science, neuroscience, psychology, education, philosophy etc.) and industry sectors (manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, domestic consumer market etc.) need to work together.
The central feature of Observatory is the open-lab space approximately 150m2 in the Inglis Building of Engineering Department Main site (Trumpington Street). The experimental space will be equipped with audio-visual equipment (projector, large screen, and speakers) as well as truss frames for accommodate cameras, lighting, or shielding equipment. The Observatory is managed by the Small Research Facility scheme for renting the space but the prices are negotiable depending on the user/project circumstances.
Today, the 23rd of September, we are annoucing the 3rd Round of applications for research projects that you can run using the OHMC space and equipment.

The OHMC is funded by the University of Cambridge Academic Seed Fund.
