Members of the Cobot Maker Space Operations Team (including Robin the Humanoid robot and Spot our Boston Dynamics robotic dog) were joined by Horizon Transitional Assistant Professors Helena Webb and Horia Maior, RAI UK Transitional Assistant Professors Gisela Reyes Cruz and Damian Eke, Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow Emily Crowe and Computer Science Student Krishika Khemani to showcase our state of the arts facility and talk about some of robotic and AI research being carried out at the University of Nottingham. Also in attendance were colleagues from the University of Nottingham Business Network, Careers and Employability, Nottingham University Business School and University of Nottingham Innovation Park.

Visitors to our stand enjoyed meeting the robots and trying out ‘Driving by the Seat of Your Pants’, a game using a pressure sensing mat – whilst seated their movements controlled a virtual robot in a graphical display presented on a screen in front of them.  Watch this short video to find out more about ‘Driving by the Seat of Your Pants’.
