On Tuesday 25th June 2024, we held our first Robotics Symposium, hosted by The North of England Robotics Innovation Centre (NERIC) – a hub of innovation in robotics. We were excited to bring together businesses, researchers and entrepreneurs for a unique experience. The symposium provided the perfect opportunity for students, researchers and industry professionals to expand their knowledge and connect with like-minded individuals.
