UKRAS21 Conference

The 4th UK-RAS Conference, entitled "Robotics at Home", will be hosted virtually by the University of Hertfordshire on 2nd June 2021

        

This conference is aimed at PhD and early-career researchers and promotes quality research, networking, and community building for PhD students and practitioners at the frontier of science and technology in robots and intelligent systems. 

This year’s theme will examine robotics and autonomous systems for use in the home; it wil consider aspects of rapid prototyping, safety, assisted living, rehabilitation robotics, technology acceptance and diverse user groups. Innovations in delivering robotics research while working from home will form part of the event, addressing challenges in remote working, on-line experimentation, digital twinning, or simulation.

The programme involves international Plenary speakers, conference and poster presentations from PhD and early-career researchers, lab tours and demos.

The Intelligent Automation Centre is delighted to announce that Loughborough University MEng student Max Workman will be presenting his paper on "Wearable Sensor Tools for Efficient Human Robot Interaction", which was co-authored by Dr Ali Al-Yacoub, one of our Research Associates.
