Laser-Powered ‘Puppet’ Yihua Hu
Event details
Rescue robotics or outer space robotics play a vital role in extremely harsh environments such as those with very high or low temperatures, or those containing radioactive or toxic substances.
Join Yihua Hu, group head of electrical engineering at the University of York and Fellow of the Institute for Engineering and Technology (IET), to find out how a laser-powered ‘puppet’ could tackle such environmental challenges without sacrificing the mission.
