Join us and discover how ambitions for Space are shaping critical developments in intuitive assistance from robotics and autonomous systems (RAS). Two use-case demonstrations from the FAIR-SPACE Hub five-year programme of research excellence illustrate transformative opportunity for development of the near-Earth orbit infrastructure. The agenda features contributions from the UK Space Agency and industry advisors as it reveals advances in bio-inspired robotic mechanisms; human-robot interaction; verification, cybersecurity and more.
A unique programme hosted across three venues showcases the dexterity of robots, alongside advanced capabilities for remote teleoperation. Two demonstrations are planned:
- Autonomous capture of a non- cooperative piece of space debris and the bio-inspired agility and adaptability of grippers designed to mimic the movement of human fingers; and
- Advances in remote teleoperation as an operator in London manipulates and senses pressure being applied by robots hundreds of miles away in Edinburgh, and the supporting machine learning models that compensate for stress, filter human error, and infer human intuition.
