This lab was established by the efforts of Dr. Rouhani Manesh, the dean of the electrical engineering department aiming at designing and building various robots. Since, then the students have been actively working and they have made several robots such as a walking stick for the blind, traffic counter, a router and participated in a provincial exhibition in Mashhad, Iran.

In addition, ‘Barbot’ is the name of a robot which was designed and built by the help and supervision of Dr. Rouhani Manesh, Dr. Ghasemi, and Ms. Sharif. This robot was unveiled in the exhibition. Barbot can easily recognize a route and carry a load to a destination without collision with environmental obstacles. Barbot is also equipped with a software which allows the user to easily upload the overall map of a specific environment so that the software can recognize the best and the shortest route between the source and destination. This smart carrier robot can be helpful in many contexts such as industrial complexes, homes, hospitals, inventories, offices, military sites, and so forth.
