In the last five years, RoboStar has grown to become a centre of excellence in Software Engineering for Robotics. Across six countries, colleagues work together towards a common vision to support practitioners in developing curated IP for trustworthy mobile and autonomous robots. On the 5th of September, 2024 we will hold our industry exhibition event and celebrate the official creation of the RoboStar Centre with a whole day of presentations and exhibitions at the University of York, where you’ll hear from the RoboStar industry partners, and learn about the RoboStar work taking place across all institutions.
The event will include presentations by Shadow Robot, ClearSy, D-RisQ, Adelard, RACE/UKAEA, AgroIntelli, Fraunhofer IFF, VSI, Jacobs, and Labman. A provisional programme can be found below. A partial list of talks with abstracts and speaker biographies is also available, and will be updated as more details of the talks become available.
