Join Engineers from the National Robotarium as they take learners through Soft Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Soft Robotics focuses on technologies that more closely resemble the physical characteristics of living organisms, such as a tentacle arm gripper, artificial octopus or a worm. Materials used are unlike the usually materials found in robots, they are ‘soft’ such as, silicone, polymers and liquid crystals.
Soft robotics is being used widely throughout the medical field (surgery, prosthetics and pain management) their movement demonstrates their closeness to humans, animals and plants. A Soft Robotics Engineer will be showing examples and discussing how soft robotics is being used throughout many different industries.
This is an amazing opportunity for secondary school students around the UK to find out what it means to work in tech and hear from women studying or working in the industry in Scotland. Hosted by Next Tech Girls
“We hope to encourage the students to pursue studies and careers in tech too. They don’t need to be studying Computing/Computer Science now to join the event.
Students won’t need access to computers, just a screen they can all see with the video call on it. They might want paper and pens.
The women speaking at the event will include a Software Developer at Barclays and Computing undergraduate at the University of Glasgow. We will share more information nearer the time.”
