The UK’s centre for artificial intelligence, located on Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh campus, creates innovative solutions to global challenges, working directly with industry to test and develop robotic, AI and automated technologies and rapidly move pioneering research from lab to market. The centre fosters the teaching and development of the next generation of roboticists, producing highly-skilled graduates who are trained to conduct world-leading research with a market focus, and developing programmes to equip the current and future workforce with robotics, data and programming skills. It also delivers incubation and business acceleration support for start-up technology companies, providing them with access to labs, office space, equipment, and engineering expertise to develop their ideas, attract inward investment, and shape the future of robotics.
 
The National Robotarium is a Data-Driven Innovation hub, funded in partnership with The University of Edinburgh as part of the £1.5bn Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region Deal, which is supported with £300m funding from the UK Government and £300m funding from the Scottish Government.


Lisa Farrell and colleagues will explain how robotic, AI and automated technologies can be applied to sectors including not only logistics but also agriculture and social care where they can address labour shortages.
