Highlights from #ICRA2026: 🔸Ridgeback wheeled humanoid with #TUM. 🔸Jackal robots at #BARNChallenge and robot parade. 🔸#RyanGariepy's lightning talk on robot entrepreneurship. 🔸@roboticscouncil @UKRobotics social with 150 people. See you next year in Seoul, Korea!

Thanks to the STIQ team for hosting last night. It was great to share what we’re building at @Neuracore_AI and discuss some of the harder questions around where robotics is headed. Also great to be sharing the stage with All3, @recycleye , and @dexoryHQ. If you’re exploring VLA, VLM, or robot learning deployments, my DMs are open - always happy to chat. #Robotics #RobotLearning #UKRobotics #STIQROBOTICS

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳. Last night we were at @atomico for @txp_io: Scaling Robotics, powered by Advanced Research Invention Agency (ARIA). From robot bodies and hand dexterity to construction sites, stonecraft, and the labour market implications of deploying robotics at scale. Technical and policy perspectives in the same conversation, exactly where it needs to be. Great to hear from @jcaread, Rich Walker (@shadowrobot), @mollieclaypool (@automatedarchitecture), @ArkaSerezh (Gondor Industries), Edwin Eyre (@yaya_labs_), @verbine (@Lunar_VC), Matt Davies, and @jujulemons (@BritishProgress). Thank you to TXP and ARIA for bringing the room together. #UKRobotics #ScalingRobotics

Happy National Engineering Day! Inspire pupils and support teachers by engaging with EngEd to celebrate how engineers shape everyday life and improve the world around them. 👉 engineeringeducates.org/ @ThisIsEng @RAEngNews @UKRobotics @OfficialUoM

Step into the second year of #EngEdChallenge with two new Challenges and a Toolkit to enhance any #Design&Tech lesson! engineeringeducates.org/enge… @UoMSEERIH @OfficialUoM @UKRobotics @SSERCofficial @RAEngNews @DTassoc

Coming soon... Engineering Educates near me! A sponsored, regional CPD programme empowering teachers of 7-14 year-olds to embed engineering in the classroom. To register for our first event see the details below: @UoMSEERIH @OfficialUoM @UKRobotics @SSERCofficial @RAEngNews

It was a pleasure to share our research at @warwickuni and the @UKRobotics Showcase Event and to connect with the research community. A huge thanks to the organisers for the invitation! @mothersinsci

Excited to share that I will stay at ETH @ethzurich for three months, working with @StefanLeuteneg1 at the Mobile Robotics Lab. I will be working on object-centric scene representation with NeRFs/3DGS for long-term mapping. This visit is supported by UK-RAS network @UKRobotics.

#EngEdChallenge Pipe Pioneers challenges learners to explore problems in their own educational setting and, thinking like civil engineers, design creative prototypes. Sign up for access: engineeringeducates.org @UoMSEERIH @OfficialUoM @UKRobotics @SSERCofficial @RAEngNews

The ‘Motion in the Ocean’ #EngEdChallenge also includes opportunities to encourage #oracy as pupils debate the ethics around ‘The ocean, should we leave it or learn from it?’ A great #Earthday discussion prompt! @EduRAEng @UNESCO @Psqm_HQ @UKRobotics @UoMSEERIH
