Find out how researchers are applying these cutting edge technologies to advance how computers help us in areas like manufacturing and education. This venue serves bar snacks, and is fully accessible.

Does AR live up to the hype?

Matei Moldoveanu (Software Engineer, AMRC)

Augmented Reality (AR), alongside cryptocurrencies and self-driving cars is one of the technologies set to change the way society functions by revolutionizing how humans interface with the surrounding world. Though Sci-FI writers have long been referencing AR, it is only now that the technology is slowly starting to take shape. The AMRC works to bring such new technologies into industry and help innovate the UK’s manufacturing industry. The talk will present how AR works, and what limitations it brings, what the AMRC does with this technology and how it overcomes the barriers to adaptation.

... and then I said: that's not a toaster, thats my teacher!

Jose Lopez (PhD Student)

Would you listen to what a robot has to say? What if it's going to be on the test? Maybe soon you will attend a class delivered entirely by a machine, just like in the movies! This talk focuses on the question: can a robot actually teach? Come on down to find out how AI, psychology and social robotics work together to find out if robots in classrooms are worth a shot; because it’s hard to be a good teacher, but it's harder to build one.
