Poster Presenters

The Future of Robotics & Autonomous Systems

The UK-RAS Network’s Early Career Forum is pleased to announce the accepted posters that are confirmed to present at the International Robotics Showcase on the theme: “The Future of Robotics and Autonomous Systems”.

The poster session is a key part of the Showcase, which allows PhD students and early career researchers an opportunity to discuss on-going research activities with the community.

The poster session will take place in the Atrium during the extended lunch break. The posters will be on display throughout the Showcase. Please go along and speak to our poster presenters on their numbered boards. You will find the presenters by their posters 13:30-14:15.

We will also have a number of posters displayed alongside their University’s stand in the Demo areas.
