Robots of the future under discussion at Oxford event
A free public talk entitled “Essential robotics: a guide to our shared future” will be hosted at Examinations School Oxford on September 7.
Guest speaker is Professor Rob Buckingham OBE.
Prof Buckingham oversees 300 roboticists at Culham Science Centre and is a UK Director of RACE, the UK Atomic Energy Authority's centre for Remote Applications in Challenging Environments.
Taking in case studies from the fusion energy machine JET (Joint European Torus), the talk will also look at autonomous and intuitive machines and how they will likely change every aspect of our lives.
Professor Buckingham said: “I’m looking forward to sharing our exciting vision of how the world will be supported by robots. They will help make fusion energy – based on the same processes that power the sun and stars – economically viable.”
