Embodied AI with The National Robotarium

Work Inspiration and Preparation Provided by HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY(THE)

Curious about how robots think, move and learn? Join the National Robotarium for a lively online webinar designed for students and educators who want to explore robotics and AI, no prior experience needed. We’ll start with a quick, visual tour of the building blocks of modern robots: learn how machines ‘see’ and ‘feel’, power movement, and the software that brings everything together.

You’ll also get an inside look at robotics careers: what engineers and researchers actually do day‑to‑day, the subjects and skills that matter most (from maths and physics to coding and creativity), and the many pathways into the sector; including apprenticeships, college, university and internships.

To finish, take part in an open Q&A with National Robotarium robotics engineers, plus a special guest appearance. Bring your questions, get inspired, and discover where robotics could take you right now.
