Watch the highlights from Robot Day Coventry 2024.

Designing concept or production cars is a fascinating process that very few people get to be part of or see. Together, teams of highly skilled and passionate designers and modellers create the aesthetics of a vehicle. This talk starts by providing a brief historical overview of automotive design before introducing the work of the different specialists that contribute to the design of a car. The talk moves on to look at how advances in technology are changing the design process. Technologies include: online collaborations, VR and AI. The talk ends by asking what the future may hold for automotive design.

There is a lot of mathematics in the control of robots! In this presentation, some of the basic concepts of mathematics used in the control of a robot will be detailed.

For many years robots in space were the realm of science fiction. But now robots play an increasingly important part of space exploration. How did this happen? And what might happen next? This talk explores the past, present and future of robotic explorers in space.

Speaker: Dr. Ansgar Koene Host: Oonagh Peat As AI is becoming an increasingly pervasive tool for enabling products and services with significant impact on the lives of people and society, there are growing concerns about the potential negative consequences of automated decision making systems such as bias, last of explainability and loss of human agency. In this presentation, we review some of the causes of these concerns, consider the ethical dimensions of the use of AI and consider some of the regulatory approaches that policymakers are exploring to support a trustworthy AI ecosystem.

Speaker: David Evans Host: Oonagh Peat The H2020 SecureIoT project focussed on 3 industry use cases for predictive security, one of which was Connected and Automated Vehicles. The CAV use case developed a reference vehicle implementation with a connected vehicle ECU where software probes were deployed to various interfaces on the vehicle (V2X, 4G, CAN) and subtle/ irregular activities (attacks) on the vehicle were performed to support the training of the system to detect such irregular behaviour.
