Young People's Vision Conference
Walking with Robots, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering and the London Engineering Project, hosted a Young Peoples' Vision Conference in London on December 4th and 5th. The conference was a unique opportunity for young people to explore visions of their future and the part robots will play. Chaired by Frank Burnet, Professor of Science Communication at UWE, 5 professional facilitators were joined by experts Kevin Warwick (Univ. Reading), Alan Winfield and Matt Studley (UWE), Tariq Sattar and Abigail Sixto (LBSU), Birgitta Zics (Univ. Plymouth), Kheng Lee Koay (Herts) and Martin Postler (RCA) in a programme designed to explore in depth the views of the young people. The resulting report will be presented to the policy department at the Royal Academy of Engineering, and will be made available through the WWR website.
