Robots: From Imagination to Market
Event Information
Description
The European Robotics Week, organised by euRobotics AISBL, brings together hundreds of robotics events from around Europe. The week aims to connect the robotics community to the public, and engage kids in educational activities.
This year, the heart of the European Robotics Week is Bristol UK and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, which will host a number of public events around robotics. For a full program of the Bristol events, and registration links, have a look here.
The "Robots: From Imagination to Market" event aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research in academia and the vibrant robotics startup ecosystem.
Starting with an introduction to robots in science fiction, we will dive into the latest state-of-the art research, hear from up-and-rising startups, and learn from successful companies. Additional highlights will include a tour of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, an overview of legal and ethical questions, and a panel discussion on how to go from imagination to market.
