UK-RAS Conference on 'Robots into the Real World'

** Covid-19 Update: UKRAS20 to be held virtually **

In response to the ongoing threat from the Covid-19 outbreak and the need for social distancing measures, the UKRAS20 Conference Committee has taken the decision to go ahead with the conference online. This will enable all our presenters to deliver a full programme of inspiring sessions, ensure their work reaches the wider research community, and gain the benefits of this valuable conference, remotely.

The conference will be held via Zoom, which is free to use. We will circulate more information about how to join the conference, to all registered attendees, prior to the event. More information relating to the revised programme will be announced in early April.

We are excited to come together virtually for #UKRAS20 and we look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks.

On behalf of the Organising and Advisory Committee we take great pleasure in welcoming students, researchers and experts in Robotics to the 3rd UK-RAS Conference for PhD Students & Early-Career Researchers.

The conference will be held online and is primarily for PhD students & early-career robotics researchers of the UK-RAS Network. It will foster progress in the field of robotics research at what promises to be a very comprehensive and exciting online meeting.

This year's theme covers ‘Robots into the Real World', exploring how robotics can make a positive difference to societal challenges, from fundamental enabling technologies to real-world applications, such as working in challenging and extreme environments; enabling healthy/independent living; ensuring safe, efficient transport; developing next-generation manufacturing; feeding a growing population and ensuring a safe environment for the future.

The aim of the #UKRAS20 conference is to promote quality research, networking, and community building for PhD students and practitioners at the frontier of science and technology in intelligent robots and systems, by discussing the latest advancements in this fast growing and exciting field.
