About this event

We are delighted to invite you to attend one of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Human-Machine Systems’ (IROHMS) Keynote presentations as part of IROHMS Future Leaders Academy 2022. This Keynote presentation will be delivered by Dr Rob Deaves, Robotic System Architect, Dyson UK.

Title: Horizon in Autonomous Robotics

Abstract: This keynote will provide an overview of interesting technologies and applications for future autonomous robots. This will include technologies relating to human-robot interactions, environmental sensing, processing algorithms/architectures (including for multiple robots) and actuators. The applications of autonomous robots will consider a broad variety of examples from those that are bio-inspired to those supporting sustainability.

Bio: Dr Rob Deaves is a highly innovative engineering fellow (FIET) and teaching fellow (FHEA) with over 30 years industrial experience gained in three iconic South West companies: BAE Systems, STMicroelectronics (formerly Inmos) and Dyson; making contributions to World leading products: including the Eurofigher multirole fighter aircraft, set-top box SoCs and Dyson automated cleaners. Rob was the Product Technical Lead for the Dyson 360Heurist, the latest robotic vacuum cleaner from Dyson, and their most complex product on the market to date. He is a RAEng Visiting Professor of Robotic Systems Architectures at Imperial College London, Advisory Board Chair of two EPSRC programme grants and International Scientific Board Chairperson for IROHMS.

Location: This Keynote will be streamed via Zoom. Link will be provided following registration.

IROHMS Future Leaders Academy will explore research challenges in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-machine systems, highlighting the transformational research, strong industrial and public sector engagement, and delivery of sustainable, impactful solutions that we are recognised for. Over a period of three weeks, commencing 7 June 2022, guests will be invited to join six keynotes, industry talks, workshops, and tours of our new and improved laboratories: IROHMS Simulation Laboratory, Autonomous Systems and Robotics Laboratory, and Human-Machine Interaction Laboratory.

Prif gyflwyniad 1: Y Dr Rob Deaves, (Dyson UK, Cadeirydd Bwrdd Gwyddonol Rhyngwladol y Ganolfan)

7fed Mehefin 2022, 15:30-16:30 BST

Mae’n dda gyda ni eich gwahodd i un o brif gyflwyniadau Canolfan Deallusrwydd Artiffisial, Roboteg a Sustemau Peiriannau Dynol yn rhan o Academi Arweinwyr y Dyfodol 2022. Y Dr Rob Deaves, Pensaer Sustemau Robotig Dyson UK, fydd yn rhoi’r cyflwyniad hwn.

Teitl: Horizon in Autonomous Robotics

Crynodeb: Bydd y cyflwyniad hwn yn rhoi trosolwg ar dechnolegau a dibenion diddorol ar gyfer robotiaid ymreolaethol y dyfodol. Bydd yn trafod technolegau sy’n helpu pobl a robotiaid i ryngweithio, synhwyro amgylcheddol, prosesu algorithmau/pensaernïaeth (gan gynnwys rhai ar gyfer mwy nag un robot) a chychwynwyr. Bydd y rhan am ddibenion robotiaid ymreolaethol yn ystyried sawl enghraifft gan gynnwys rhai sy’n ymwneud â bywyd a rhai sy’n hybu cynaliadwyedd.

Bywgraffiad: Mae’r Dr Rob Deaves yn gymrawd peirianneg ac addysgu hynod arloesol a chanddo dros 30 mlynedd o brofiad diwydiannol mewn tri chwmni enwog yn ne-orllewin Lloegr: BAE Systems, STMicroelectronics (Inmos gynt) a Dyson; gan helpu i gynhyrchu nwyddau blaenllaw megis awyren ymladd aml ei rolau Eurofigher, blwch pen set SoCs a glanhawyr awtomataidd Dyson. Rob oedd arweinydd technegol cynnyrch Heurist Dyson 360, sugnwr llwch robotig diweddaraf y cwmni a’i declyn mwyaf cymhleth hyd yma. Mae'n Athro Gwadd RAEng Pensaernïaeth Sustemau Robotig yng Ngholeg Imperial Llundain, yn ogystal â llywio dau fwrdd ymgynghorol ar gyfer grantiau rhaglenni Cyngor Ymchwil Peirianneg a’r Gwyddorau Ffisegol a’n Bwrdd Gwyddonol Rhyngwladol ni.
