Industry Forum Speakers
Rob Deaves, Senior Principal Engineer, Dyson, Honorary Professor, University of Birmingham.
Abstract/teaser: Rob will provide an overview of the 360VisNav, Dysons 3rd World-wide sales, mass market automated home vacuum cleaner. In the overview he will highlight how the ‘harsh’ environment of the home affects the robot and the technologies and processes applied to overcome them!!

Rich Walker, Director of Shadow Robot Company.
Abstract/teaser: Rich will talk about the work Shadow Robot have done developing highly-dexterous robot hands for robotics R&D, and some of the industrial areas where these technologies are relevant. Rich will include some examples of early work to address these challenges, and what the barriers are to taking the technology forwards industrially. Finally, Rich will reflect on how to engage with the opportunities of robotics from a research and from an industrial perspective.

Pete Allport, Head of Remote Technologies Group at Sellafield.
Abstract/teaser: Remote Technology Deployments at Sellafield are difficult at the best of times, however by adopting an Equipment Programme approach to three asset types and the domains they operate in we have accelerated remote robotic deployments across the enterprise and are now realising some of the wider benefits that came with robotic deployments in nuclear.

Xiao Ai, Co-Founder & CTO of QLM Technology Ltd.
Abstract/teaser: The talk will address the urgent need for monitoring greenhouse gases, specifically methane, and explores the real-world impacts. QLM Technology introduces its Quantum Gas Lidar (QGL) technology, highlighting its practical deployment for sensitive methane detection in industrial settings. The presentation emphasizes the working principle of the QGL as a novel scientific instrument, showcasing its effectiveness in field trials and regulatory compliance. The technology not only meets but exceeds industry standards, offering a comprehensive solution for monitoring and mitigating industrial methane emissions. The widespread implementation of this technology contributes significantly to the global net-zero emissions objectives.
