A Pint of Robotics: Speaker and Mentorship Sessions

A Pint of Robotics is our flagship speaker event, with invited talks from across the University of Leeds and its academic/industrial partners. Our sessions aim to share exciting, cutting-edge research across a broad range of robotics-focused fields, including: clinical and bio-hybrid robotics, space robotics, autonomous and semi-autonomous control, computer vision, artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction and  virtual/augmented reality.

Our sessions usually feature two research-focused talks and a 'mentor' session. Our mentor sessions feature informative, guidance-based talks on career progression and employment opportunities from our academic members of staff and industrial partners. Previous mentor sessions have included talks by: Professor Pietro Valdastri (Director of IRASS and the Science and Technologies of Robotics in Medicine Lab), Professor Paolo Actis (Professor in bionanotechnology and Deputy Director for Student Education) and Dr. Benjamin Chong (lecturer in electrical engineering and Academic Lead for Reflective Practice). Our sessions are strictly open to Masters, PhD, postdoctoral and University staff members only.
