Are robots really going to take over the world? Will robots be able to replace humans? What does it mean to be human? Take a journey through the weird and wonderful world of robotics. You will discover the challenges and possibilities facing today's engineers and scientists with the quest of creating the man's new best friend (or will they be our enemies?)
This special one-off Christmas event - hosted by EECS, SEMS, and The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) - will be a fun-filled experience full of surprises. Prof Kaspar Althoefer, Dr Ildar Farkhatdinov and Dr Lorenzo Jamone are the speakers for the evening.
