The Industrial Mobile Robotics Networking Evening is designed to foster local connections within the Northern Powerhouse’s robotics sector. Organized by the CLAWAR Association and hosted at the world-renowned Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), this event targets the bridge between high-level research and industrial application. Sheffield has become a global hub for "Industry 4.0," and this evening serves as the premier meet-up for those driving the transition toward smarter, more mobile factory floors.
This is not a traditional conference; there are no long-form papers or slide decks. Instead, the evening is structured around "lightning talks" where five local innovators present their most challenging problems or breakthrough solutions in five minutes or less. Following these talks, the floor opens for curated networking, allowing start-up founders to meet venture capitalists and researchers to find industrial partners for their next grant application.
The focus remains on mobile and service robotics—specifically robots that can navigate complex, changing industrial environments without the need for safety cages. As the CLAWAR Association expands its reach, events like this ensure that the scientific breakthroughs in walking and climbing locomotion are being effectively communicated to the manufacturers who can deploy them. Drinks and light refreshments will be served, and tours of the AMRC Factory 2050 facilities will be available for early arrivals.
