Robot Lab and 'Technologies of the Future: Today' at the Edinburgh International Science Festival

Submitted by maragon on Mon, 04/04/2016 - 12:13

James Garforth, Edinburgh Centre for Robotics student, organised the events Robot Lab and Technologies of the Future, Today. Robot Lab ran from 26th to the 30th March in the National Museum of Scotland and consisted of  a series demos that showcased the research carried out at the Centre by current students. Technologies of the Future, Today took place on 30th March in Summerhall. Carson Vogt, Iris Kyranou, Agamemnon Krasoulis, Sandy Enoch and Wolfgang Merkt gave talks about robots and showed some demos.

The event is jointly organised by the:

The ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference and the Computer and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE)

Date: 
Sun, 21/08/2016 - 00:00 to Wed, 24/08/2016 - 23:45
Location: 
Charlotte, North Carolina

The ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference and the Computer and Information in Engineering Conference  (IDETC/CIE 2016) is the world's leading research conference in mechanical engineering. IDETC/CIE 2016 consists of 11 conferences including The 40th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference. 

2016 International Summer School on Screw-Theory Based Methods in Robotics

Date: 
Sun, 28/08/2016 - 00:00 to Mon, 05/09/2016 - 23:45
Location: 
Montreal, Canada
Speaker: 
Dr Xianwen Kong
Edinburgh Centre for Robotics

The Summer School is intended for graduate students and young researchers in robotics. Participants are expected from both academia and industry. The course delivers a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts and some of the main applications of screw-theory, and hence will be particularly attractive to doctoral students and young researchers in robotics and related fields, mechanical engineering, or applied mathematics. Dr Xianwen Kong from Heriot-Watt will give lectures on the creative design of parallel mechanisms.
