Demonstration programme and map
Below you'll find a floor map of the ground floor of the ISA building, and a list of planned demonstrations.
A guide to the demonstrations:
1. Atrium

b) Drawing robot - Dobot Magician robot arm programmed to draw shapes and text.
c) Delta marble run - Delta robot arm able to reset a short marble run.
d) Micro mouse - Small maze solving robot.
e) Robot teaching across the University - different lecturers explain their course content.
f) Torch/SMAS - Find out about the two ISA cross-cutting challenges
g) Out reach and pi bits - Colin’s arrangement of various robotic and sensing bit.
2. Quantum Comms Lab
a) Single photo emitter that proves quantum entanglement.
3. Test Space 2
a) How robots can imitate our actions - John Bateman.
b) Removal tasks for robotic hand - Liman Wang and Hanyang Zhong.
c) Robotic chemistry (TORCH) - Jonathon Pipe.
4. Underwater Lab
