The Robotics & Automation Theatre will feature both case-study presentations from exhibitors focussing on the benefits delivered by their products along with seminars from industry thought-leaders and experts on the latest trends and developments in the robotics and automation market.
Understanding IFRA-Cranfield’s research vision and how current projects are advancing intelligent, flexible, and reconfigurable automation
How a robot-agnostic ROS 2 framework enables standardised simulation, control, and rapid reconfiguration across different industrial and collaborative manipulators
How ROS 2 and MoveIt!2 enable sim2real workflows and modular integration, supporting rapid robot cell deployment and seamless interaction with external hardware and software in adaptable manufacturing environments
Core Principles of HMI Development: understand the foundational elements of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design, including architecture, user requirements, and the role of HMIs in industrial environments.
Challenges in Industrial Environments: explore common obstacles and learn how to address them effectively.
Modern Techniques for Scalable and Intuitive HMIs: discover current best practices and technologies to build HMIs that are functional, easy to use, and future-proof
Harnessing BioEnergy: Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) convert organic matter into electricity using microorganisms, providing a sustainable and self-sufficient power source for environmental robots.
Waste to power: By utilising waste streams or natural substrates, MFC-powered Envirobots can clean, monitor, inspect environments while generating energy, reducing reliance on conventional batteries.
Sustainable Design: Understanding how to optimise MFC efficiency, use ceramic materials, and integrate them into robotic platforms is key for real-world deployment in remote environments.
