The IET Robotic and Mechatronics network are delighted to be working with the EPSRC UK-RAS once again to deliver the International Robotics Showcase, the pinnacle event of UK Robotics Week 2017. Over the next few days we’ll be highlighting some of the fantastic speakers and exhibitors who will be attending the event.
Speaker highlight: Professor Guang-Zhong Yang
Professor Guang-Zhong Yang is co-founder and director of the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery at Imperial College London. Building on research expertise in medical imaging, sensing and robotics, he holds leadership roles in multiple centres of excellence.
Professor Yang pioneered the concept of perceptual docking for robotic control and led the development of a number of medical robot platforms. Professor Yang is also a recipient of numerous international awards and currently leads the EPSRC UK-Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Network. He is a member of the WEF Global Agenda Council on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, fellow of IEEE, IET, AIMBE, IAMBE, MICCAI, City of Guilds and a recipient of the Royal Society Research Merit Award and The Times Eureka ‘Top 100’ in British Science.
Professor Yang will be speaking at approximately 09:55 on Surgery and Global Health so make sure you don't miss his talk!
The International Robotics Showcase is taking place on Friday 30th June at IET Savoy Place, London.
