Looking forward to discussing topical issues around #autonomy and #SelfDrivingCars in the historical setting of the Royal Institution lecture theatres — do take this opportunity to attend this in person. School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh Robotics The Alan Turing Institute

Today Sethu Vijayakumar welcomed Deputy First Minister of Scotland John Swinney to our world leading robotics facility at Edinburgh University. This was a welcomed opportunity to showcase our strengths in robotics, AI and data science. School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh Robotics #Robotics #Informatics




Very proud of Deepti’s performance. On the back of winning the Team U18 InterArea representing Lothian last weekend and representing BadmintonScot at the U15 Europeans in Spain EdinBadmintonAcademy St George's Sport

Join Sethu Vijayakumar Sethu Vijayakumar, Professor of Robotics School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh SLMC, at the upcoming #DataFest22 where the panel will debate on 'Humans vs AI - who will win the skills battle?' 🗓️ @DataFest_ Data Summit will take place 3-4 November. 🎫 Tickets: bit.ly/3CU4qlL


Great talk today by Sethu Vijayakumar The Alan Turing Institute Edinburgh Robotics SLMC on robotics & AI for assisted living with focus on collaborative/shared autonomy, enriched by reflections on ethical issues, responsibility and explainability. Organised and chaired by Tetsuya Ogata / 尾形哲也 at Waseda


Future Robotics Organisation, Waseda University and The Alan Turing Institute signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the 14 November officially starting the Moonshot programme between the two organisations. #collaborations #Moonshot #robotics The Alan Turing Institute


It all adds up for Edinburgh's rising teenage badminton star and mathematics ace | Edinburgh News. Great work St George's School, Edinburgh superstar Deepti! edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/other-sp…

🤖What an amazing day! Thank you to everyone who came along to our open lab tour as part of Edinburgh Science last Friday. We hope you all had as much fun as we did! #Robotics #artificalintelligence #research #learning



👏Congratulations to (Dr.) Jiayi Wang Jiayi Wang for passing his #PhD viva on 'Online Receding Horizon Planning of Multi-Contact Locomotion'. We are all very excited to see what the future holds for you!



👏Congratulations to Edinburgh Robotics (Dr.) Traiko Dinev for passing his #PhD viva 'Concurrent Design and Motion Planning in Robotics using Differentiable Optimal Control'. Thanks to examiners Dr Nicolas Mansard and Dr Michael Mistry. Well done Traiko Dinev !
