Holy motherboard!
Run time: 11.30 – 12.30
A robot, a researcher and a reverend walk into a church…
No, it’s not the start of a joke, it’s the newest research from Andrew Blair (University of Glasgow). He is interested in how robots behave in real-world environments and what emerges when new technology meets time-honoured tradition.
Follow Andrew on his journey to introduce a robot to a centuries-old cathedral, plus the people and places they meet along the way. From development to deployment, hear about robot adventures and get ready for the next step – a demonstration from the robot itself!
