The Smart Revolution - Transforming Manufacturing with Robotics

To coincide with Smart Manufacturing Week https://www.smartmanufacturingweek.com/, join two leading UK robotics experts for an insightful 90-minute webinar exploring the critical and growing role of robotics in modern factories, encouraging circular manufacturing.

Speakers:

Prof Samia Nefti-Meziani OBE Professor of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Birmingham 

Topic:  Towards Circular Manufacturing and Materials: Opportunities and Challenges of RAS Adoption Across Industrial Sectors.  This presentation examines value retention processes and highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Autonomous Systems (RAS). It further discusses how cross-sector collaboration can drive and accelerate the deployment of RAS in circular manufacturing and materials sectors.

Prof Guido Herrmann Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Control & Head of Control Systems and Robotics Group, University of Manchester

Bridging the gap between novel control and robotics research and real-world applications within the UKRI-funded AMPI project, Prof Herrmann discusses human–robot interaction, digital twins, and control strategies for effective collaborative tele-robotic systems with compliant soft robot hands in glovebox, biosafety cabinets, also within extreme environments.
