Congratulations to first-year undergraduates Marc Harvey-Hill, Yash Shah, Nicole Choong and Matthew Elliot who teamed up to take part in a Hackathon on 'Embracing Neurodiversity' – and won.
Dr Hatice Gunes, a Reader in Affective Intelligence and Robotics here, wants to create emotionally intelligent robots that can help make us more resilient to life’s challenges. "I believe they can improve quality of life," she says.
The question 'How many robots does it take to screw in a lightbulb?' was not a joke. It was the start of The Wheeler Lecture 2021 where our guest speaker Professor Daniela Rus invited us to "reimagine robots".
Researchers here will tomorrow tell an international summit about their work on more environmentally-friendly ways to train the AI models that underpin web search engines, power smart assistants and enable driverless cars.
An internship scheme here that allows undergraduates to put theory into practice, develop valuable skills, and discover unexpected research interests and/or career paths, will get underway again in June.
Dr Robert Watson has won the 2021 EuroSys Jochen Liedtke Young Researcher Award, given annually to junior European researchers who have demonstrated exceptional creativity and innovation in systems research.
The UK government is making more funding available this spring to encourage companies to test out in the 'real world' new digital security solutions developed by this Department as part of the CHERI project.
PhD students and postdocs across Cambridge have another chance to apply for a funded training course that is successfully equipping scientists with powerful tools to progress their research.
Save the date of Wednesday 12 May, when Professor Daniela Rus - Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT - will be giving this year's Wheeler Lecture. Her talk is entitled 'Reimagining Robots'.
A major joint effort by academia and industry is needed to solve the key issues stopping Augmented and Virtual Reality from realising their potential. So say the organisers of a recent workshop, including researchers in this Department.
