The Centre for Robotics Research (CORE) at King’s College is demonstrating the latest research that deals with a broad range of exciting topics. We will show how we see the future, and how robots can change our lives. You will see:

• soft robots that are created taking inspiration from the natural world and wildlife;
• wearable and rehabilitation robots that can assist people in their daily needs and tasks;
• a robotic hand that is capable of performing complex manipulations;
• haptics and tactile technologies that are giving the sense of touch to the robots;
• and a lot of other exciting robotic demonstrations.

Tours to robotics labs will be available on the day (12pm, 1:30 pm and 3 pm). To book your place we recommend to come at lease 30 minutes before the tour as numbers are limited.

Demonstrations will be held in room K0.50. Meet our representative next to Kinba robotic receptionist for guidelines.

The event is free of charge and no registration is required. However, to help us to estimate the total number of visitors and to organise a better day for you, we ask you to express your interest via Eventbrite.
