Highlights of the keynote presentations

Robert Skilton, Head of Research at RACE at UK Atomic Energy Authority, gave an inspiring opening keynote on Fusion Robotics. So many opportunities exist for employing intelligent robotics to de-risk operations in a nuclear set-up.

Watch the opening keynote here.

Sriram Subramanian, Vice Dean (Enterprise) and Professor of Computer Science at UCL, shared his successful experience transferring his swarm sound modulation research for the closing keynote. It opens up new opportunities for innovative haptic applications, and the potential for contactless manufacturing is impressive.
