The BRL evolved out of the Intelligent Autonomous Systems laboratory,[9] established in 1992. The Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) lab was co-founded by Alan Winfield, Chris Melhuish,[10]Owen Holland and Tony Pipe[11] and led by Winfield until 2001, when Melhuish took over as lab director. In 2005 £1M was secured from the HEFCE Research Infrastructure Fund[12] in a joint bid from UWE and the University of Bristol and the IAS lab was renamed and relaunched as the Bristol Robotics Lab. Following relocation to its current premises the BRL was officially launched by David Willetts in May 2012.[13]
In 2014, BBC News at Six was broadcast live from the BRL. The feature was the third of a three part series of pre-budget specials fronted by anchor George Alagiah and then Chief Economics Correspondent Hugh Pym.[14]
Chris Melhuish led the BRL as director until 2021.
