Welcome to the UK Robotics Summer School web pages. We are organising a Summer School to take place from 2 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Organised by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics (Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University) and the National Robotarium, The event is supported by the CDT D2AIR, The Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and the UK-RAS network.
Overview: This is a 5 day Summer School from June 2-6 2025, aimed at developing learning, engagement and knowledge exchange within the field of robotics. This school will offer a combination of lectures, tutorials, and industry presentations, focusing on cutting-edge topics in robotics.
What to expect?
- Expert-led lectures, tutorials, and industry talks on the latest advancements
- Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art robotics technology
- Insights into reasoning, control, collaboration, and learning, bioinspired robotics, generative AI for robotics, human robot interactions
- Discussions on ethics, validation, and inclusivity in robotics and AI
- Networking opportunities with fellow students, academics, and industry leaders
- Refreshments, lunch, and a special Summer School dinner included!
Participants: This programme is tailored for Master’s-level students and above and industry practitioners, offering an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and understand what’s possible in robotics.
Location: Postgraduate Centre (PG01) Heriot-Watt University.
Programme: Reasoning, control, collaboration, and learning in Robotics, Bioinspired Robotics, Generative AI for Robotics, Human Robot Interaction (HRI), Validation and Verification of AI. There will also be a round table discussion on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Robotics and AI. A tour of the National Robotarium will be organised. There will also be a Summer School Dinner.
