Title: The SpiNNaker HPC and Robotics
A fast paced, intellectually stimulating and highly interactive 2 day workshop bringing an evidence based approach to generating ideas and design thinking for real world challenges in robotics. Students will learn how to think big, spot new research possibilities, solve tricky problems and generate ideas. They’ll also learn new skills to support communication and collaboration when thinking collectively about complex problems.
This dinner forms part of our annual conference and is by invitation only
After Dinner Keynote:

Europe’s most advanced assisted living robots were showcased in an international tournament at Heriot-Watt University, this week.
Academic teams from across the continent battled it out in the European Robotics League Service Robot Challenge (ERL), testing robots which aim to assist older people in a care setting.
The competition took place in the University’s custom built 60 square metre real life living laboratory, with researchers testing robots which could revolutionise the healthcare and social care sectors.
Students from Edinburgh Centre for Robotics will be attending this event to showcase the work of the Centre through demonstrations of Miro, Nao and Spheros robots.
This is a family-oriented science fest from the makers of Glasgow Science Festival, with drop-in displays and exhibitions and loads of science related fun for everyone.
