This event has been co-organised by:
UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems
UK-RAS brings together the UK’s core academic capabilities in robotics innovation under national coordination and encourages academic and industry collaboration to accelerate the development and adoption of RAS.
Centre for Robotic Autonomy in Demanding and Long-Lasting Environments
The CRADLE Prosperity Partnership brings together the industrial experience that Amentum has in applied Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) with the research expertise at The University of Manchester in this field to create a collaborative research centre that is internationally leading and sustainable in the long term.
Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and AI for Net Zero
The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Robotics and AI for Net Zero (RAINZ) is a 4-year PhD programme that will train and develop the next generation of multi-disciplinary robotic systems engineers. It unites leading researchers from The University of Manchester, Glasgow and Oxford, to train in both research and commercialisation of Robotics and AI to help revolutionise lifecycle asset management of critical infrastructure, in support of the UK’s Net Zero Strategy.
Accelerator for Cumbria and Oxfordshire Robotics in Nuclear
ACORN aims to accelerate the commercialisation of robotics and AI, making nuclear decommissioning safer, more efficient and advanced, while stimulating regional job creation and economic growth in Oxfordshire and Cumbria. Our £4.5m fund supports research and commercial partnerships, to help de-risk and simplify the journey to deployment of nuclear robotics and AI, and engage and inspire a diverse next-generation nuclear robotics and AI workforce.
Robotics and AI Collaboration
RAICo is a collaboration between the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Sellafield Ltd, the University of Manchester and AWE Nuclear Security Technologies. It develops remotely operated solutions for decommissioning, including in the nuclear industry, and for the operation and maintenance of future fusion power plants.
