Fantastic interview with Professor of Swarm Engineering @sabinehauert on @BBCBreakfast talking about swarm firefighting drones. Learn more by following the link: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… @tas_function @BristolUni #AI #drones #wildfires #firefighter
That's a wrap from TAS- we want to thank you all for coming on this journey with us: read more in our blog tasfunctionality.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2024/05/03/tha… #goodbye #autonomoussystems #robotics @tas_hub
Participate in our study 😀
We're really sad that the TAS project is ending this week. Keep an eye out for some blogs about what we've been up to these last few months, in the meantime here's a short video about our work: youtu.be/q3-AnjFQwhQ
Check out our #ICRA2024 workshop on breaking swarm stereotypes. Excellent programme with talks, panels, guest appearances by biologists, posters, videos, live demos, an interactive game, and evening social! Final deadline for contributions is 1st May: hauertlab.com/breaking-swarm…
Are humanoid robots really that useful? @zsk talks to @sabinehauert about what robots will look like in the future bbc.in/3Wc08jP
Want to know more about our contribution to key sectors of societal and economic importance? You can! Read our Impact brochure here: buff.ly/3vzbFif @unisouthampton @UniofNottingham @KingsCollegeLon #AI #AIcommunity #automatedsolutions
📢Calling Proposals! The @responsibleaiuk #SkillsProgramme funding call is now live, offering £500,000 in grants for projects focusing on creating open educational resources for #AI training. @UKRI_News Learn more: rai.ac.uk/funding/skills Submission due date: 14 June 2024
Presented our @tas_function Node multi-disciplinary paper on ‘Soft Gripping: Specifying for Trustworthiness’ at #RoboSoft2024 in San Diego. @OcadoTechnology
Waddlegrab, our entry for the @IEEERoboSoft competition is about to start! 😆 Wishing the team Good Luck!!!
Kicking off Day 1 of @IEEERoboSoft 2024 with lightning talks from Loong Yi Lee on fruit ripeness detection using tactile fingertips and Richard Suphapol Diteesawat on adaptive shrink-to-fit cuffs for exosuits. 👏
The #ICRA2024 hybrid workshop on Breaking Swarm Stereotypes will be 17 May. Check our call for posters, videos, and demos. We have three deadlines to make sure early submitters get an answer quick. Lots of prizes to win, including a robot! Details here: hauertlab.com/breaking-swarm…
Loved talking with @SoftLabBristol @tas_function today at #TASshowcase2024 such a great exhibit! CAN ROBOTS PICK UP PAPER CRANES? How delicate can a robot be? #TASshowcase2024 #AI #AIcommunity #robots
amazing panel discussion on Responsible Research and Innovation and EDI at @tas_hub Showcase 2024 chaired by Virginia Portillo and Helena Webb #responsibility #ai #autonomoussystems #skills #interdisciplinary #trust
I keep saying we want swarms to be useable out of the box. So Tom built a swarm box that can carry 3 DOTS and the kit needed to deploy them. Here he is setting up at the #TASShowcase24. Stop by our booth to talk about trustworthy swarms and our DOTS-in-a-box!
Professor @sabinehauert is sharing some of our impacts from our Node and across our swarm projects at the #TASShowcase24 #robotics #AutonomousSystems #AI #swarm
We really enjoyed sharing our exhibits with delegates this afternoon, they looked like they enjoyed it too! #TASshowcase2024 #AI #Robots #AIcommunity
Grab some chocolate with our soft robot crane machine #softrobotics #TASShowcase24 #AutonomousSystems #AI
Our team are having a great time talking to interested visitors at the #TASShowcase24 #swarm #robots #AI See how our swarms can be used in disaster relief, logistics and beyond...
Great to see our very own Professor Eder @ki_eder taking part in the Transport panel at the #TASShowcase24 taking place in London today #AutonomousSystems #AI
