Walking with Robots

40 roboticists and artificial intelligence researchers are gathered in Bristol for three days of workshops and seminars about science engagement under the banner ‘Walking with Robots’. It’s chaotic, frenzied, nail-biting stuff. Or at least, my bit is: I’m here with Gia and ten researchers, running a newsroom.

Keep up with our efforts — and if we’re doing our jobs right, what’s happening in the rest of the event — at the Walking with Robots blog.

In the three days of the event, we’re hardly going to find a huge audience — but please, if you read this, head on over and leave a comment or two. It’s a training exercise, but we’re live to the world, so feedback is keeping us on our toes.

Photos in our Flickr stream, by the way.
