Our facilities

A unique environment for real-world validation 

ANTUR covers 500 hectares of upland terrain with over 10 km of tracks, offering a level of environmental complexity that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in the UK. 

The site includes: 

• Grass pastures and mixed ground 
• Steep slopes and elevation changes 
• Peat bog and wet ground 
• Narrow tracks and challenging micro-environments 
• An indoor robotics workshop  
• Field workshops with internet connectivity 

This diversity makes ANTUR ideal for testing: 

• Off-road and rough-terrain robots (UGVs and UAVs)
• Environmental and agricultural robotics 
• Sensors and communications systems 
• Search and rescue and security platforms 

Designed for testing 

ANTUR is ideal for organisations that need to move beyond controlled demonstrations and into rigorous, repeatable testing in the field. 

We can offer: 

• Stress-tests for mobility, navigation, and autonomy 
• Long-range and endurance trials 
• Sensor and perception evaluation under variable conditions 
• Communications testing across large, complex landscapes 

Your testing can be supported by our academic expertise to design robust trials, capture meaningful data, and evaluate results.
