Events
ROBOTTINGHAM aims to bring together academics, researchers, and students at UoN and NTU around the robotics and AI theme. This will be the third edition of the event, with expanded presence towards concretising the regional relationship between UoN and NTU, as well as the wider East Midlands academic region. We plan to have invited talks from academics at both universities, key-note talks from special invitees, along with a networking session and a poster session for PhD students. Guests and attendees from the city, county, as well as the East Midlands region, working around robotics and AI activities, will be sharing their ideas on how we could do establish this more effectively going forward.

9-July-2024, School of Computer Science,
University of Nottingham, UK
We are organising a workshop at IROS to bring to light the current and envisioned robotic solutions in the context of Geriatronics and to raise awareness among policy-makers with new generation of robotics and AI technology to address recent challenges stemming from the increasing shortage and geographic disparities of care providers and the overburdened health-care. We will discuss how accessible, intelligent assistive robotics technologies can enhance independence and self-determination for people with lived experience of disability and how research can be directed to improve adaptation, interaction, and acceptance?

October 2023, Detroit, USA
Our ICRA 2023 Workshop on Multidisciplinary Approaches to Co-Creating Trustworthy Autonomous Systems will bring together academics and industry practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds (including robotics, engineering, AI, computer science, social science, humanities, design, and law). We are open and welcoming to researchers from the autonomous agents and multi-agent systems community.

Rehabilitation Technologies Network+ (RTN) Challenge Workshop and Funding Opportunity
We look forward to welcoming researchers, clinicians, technicians, industry and patient representatives to our in-person workshop in July. Participants will help identify research priorities and questions of central interest, as well as potential disruptive technologies and solutions to clinical challenges. Up to £100,000 of RTN funding will be made available to fund interdisciplinary feasibility studies arising from these workshops.
Please complete the short application form by 5pm on 8th May to join us by visiting our Network Activities page.

The Healthcare Robotics Technologies - Metrified (HEART-MET) competition aims to address the growing age-related healthcare costs and quality of life problems, which threaten the stability and safety of the social security systems in charge of paying and maintaining high quality of healthcare. The competition addresses tasks that may directly impact the user's well-being, in a complex and unstructured domestic environment. This implies the use of a wide variety of functionalities, and requires a strict validation of the safety of the robotic behaviours. Assistive robots from different universities across Europe will compete to solve challenges. The robots are evaluated on functionalities such as object and person detection, activity and gesture recognition and object handover, which are required to complete tasks such as assessing the activity state of a person, delivery items to a person and preparing, etc. The competition is organised as part of the METRICS project.

Congratulations to our very own Pablo Lopez Custodio, who won University of Nottingham Researcher Academy’s annual Tri-Campus Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Research Community across three UoN campuses in UK, China & Malaysia.
Our paper titled "Resolving Conflicts During Human-Robot Co-Manipulation" is nominated for the best paper award at ACM HRI Conference. In this work, we implemented a robotic assistant, to proactively resolve conflicts in physical HRI through action generation.
