Next week I will be giving the The Institution of Engineering and Technology Public Lecture at the UK TAROS2021 conference. The lecture will be an introduction to planning robot behaviour in unpredictable worlds and should be accessible to anyone with an interest in robotics/AI. See thread for details.

A huge thanks to TAROS2021 and The Institution of Engineering and Technology for the invitation!

Only 2 days until the launch of #TAROS2021 conference "Towards #Autonomous #Robotics Systems". Last chance to register for free at lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/ (and to take a sneak peek at the #proceedings)

We published our first technical robotics paper from the Leverhulme Research Centre - Materials Design over the summer: tinyurl.com/bypu88ux #TAROS21 - a ROS driver for a @KUKAGlobal KMR iiwa. This work led by work by Hatem Fakhruldeen & David Marquez-Gamez Video of the results at: youtube.com/watch?v=ODOPMo…

By the way, if you're interested, Hatem Fakhruldeen will be presenting this at #TAROS2021 on Sept 9th (Thursday)

On Wednesday I am giving a keynote talk at the TAROS2021 conference. I will be presenting our research Personal Robotics Imperial EEE on Personal Assistive Robotics. Conference details and programme at: lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/

199 registration to #taros2021 #conference so far, will you be number 200? lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/…

Welcome to TAROS 2021 Day 1 kicking off at 10:30 BST. Highlights of the day include the keynote by Yiannis Demiris at 11:00 and the The Institution of Engineering and Technology public lecture by Nick Hawes at 18:00. But there's much more today. lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/… Tweet with #taros2021 and we'll likely retweet.

Here's your reminder that I'll be giving the The Institution of Engineering and Technology / TAROS2021 public lecture tonight at 18:00 via lncn.ac/tarosietpub I will give a very general intro to our work on AI for mission planning under uncertainty for autonomous robots.

Today we already had a fantastic keynote by Prof Barbara Webb @InfAtEd and are now onto the ARQ QMUL best thesis awards. Congratulations to winner Fan Zhang, and runners up Pierre Berthet-Rayne and Katie Winkle lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/…

Should you have missed the great The Institution of Engineering and Technology public lecture on "Decision Making for Autonomous Robots" by Nick Hawes of Goal-Oriented Autonomous Long-Lived Systems during #taros2021, don't despair. It's right here for you to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=TUyABW…

Incredibly happy to have been awarded the UK Best PhD in #Robotics #Award 2020 1st place! Massive thank you to my supervisor Yiannis Demiris, all members of Personal Robotics Imperial EEE Antoine Cully, and to the organisers ARQ QMUL Queen Mary University of London (also for a great TAROS2021).

After two exhausting and exciting days of #taros2021, we have 1 more thing lined up for you: The Research and Industry Showcase Day! Join presenters live from their labs and fields, or listen to their interesting robotics challenges they are solving. lcas.lincoln.ac.uk/wp/taros-2021/…
