The Robotics and AI Collaboration (`RAICo`_) is a seminal initiative situated at the juncture of academia and industry,
under the auspices of `The University of Manchester`_. This endeavor highlights the university's comprehensive commitment
to research in robotics and artificial intelligence. RAICo1 functions as a pivotal facility for the University's
Robotics for Extreme Environments Group. This group is acclaimed for its adept deployment of robotic technologies
within facilities confronting extreme conditions and other formidable environments, both domestically within the
United Kingdom and on a global scale.

`RAICo`_ aims to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications, providing a collaborative platform
for scientists, engineers, and industry professionals. It offers state-of-the-art infrastructure, including advanced
robotic systems and cutting-edge AI tools, to address the challenges posed by extreme environments. The facility also
serves as a training ground for the next generation of roboticists and AI experts, fostering innovation and excellence.

This documentation is crafted to provide `RAICo`_ researchers with quick access to information on all robots and facilities at `RAICo`_. Most of the content is derived from the respective official robot documentations and associated websites. For further details about our facilities and ongoing projects, visit the `RAICo1 GitHub`_ and the `Hotrobotics`_ page.
