The Royal College of Arts has recently completed a major extension and redevelopment of its Battersea bridge site. As part of the design and innovation campus they have created a state of the art theatre, including a robotics test aquarium tank facility. The theatre, hangar and gallery will provide space supporting the RCA’s vision for collaboration on the design of artificial intelligence (AI) and ground breaking robotics technology. This dedicated space will allow for research, testing and assembly areas for disciplines like intelligent mobility, design engineering, sculpture and robotics, with advanced aerial and aquatic robotics.

The ATL team are very proud to continue playing an important part in providing hardware promoting the furthering of research into new technologies. Likewise we are extremely pleased to have been selected as the key supplier for the test aquarium tank which forms the largest hydraulic element of the testing arena set up.

Working closely in coordination with the RCA’s scientific team enabled us to design and deliver the robotics test aquarium tank to their highly exacting expectations. We were able to build the tank offsite, entirely at our factory and deliver it in one price directly into the RCA’s brand new state of the art robotics hangar facility.

The tank was fabricated at ATL and delivered as a complete unit

Our team of technicians then set about installing the filtration system before final testing and handover the RCA on site team.

The robotics test aquarium tank is just one of ATL’s more recent scientific biased projects. We continue to successfully deliver our tanks and services to a range of highly respected educational establishments. We are excited to be currently working on another major specialist project and look forward to sharing details of this soon.
