FAIR-SPACE SHOWCASE

Join us and discover critical developments in artificial intelligence, systems resilience,
and human-robot interaction driving advances in the ‘intuitive assistance’ progressing
operational capabilities in robots, while also addressing the stresses experienced by the
humans operating them. Two demonstrations are planned showcasing capacity for: 

 Autonomous capture of a non- cooperative piece of space debris and the bio-
inspired agility and adaptability of grippers designed to mimic the movement of
human fingers; and 

 Advances in remote teleoperation as an operator in London manipulates and
senses pressure being applied by robots hundreds of miles away in Edinburgh, and
the supporting machine learning models that compensate for stress, filter human
error, and infer human intuition. 

The demonstrations will be complemented by researchers' presentations of the significant
advancements cutting across multiple areas of technical development, including haptics,
wearables, sensing, machine learning and systems engineering.

The FAIR-SPACE Hub is a UK national centre of research excellence in space robotics
and artificial intelligence demonstrating the transformative potential for robotics and
autonomous systems in space.  Applications include the protection and maintenance of the near- Earth orbit satellite systems, enhanced dexterity for space exploration, and
smart enhancements for space suits. Headed by Prof Sir Martin
Sweeting OBE FRS  FREng  FIET  FRAeS , the Hub is supported by grant and private sector
funding bringing together a unique mix of expertise from the University of Surrey (lead),
Imperial College London, University of Edinburgh, University of Liverpool/Manchester,
University of Salford, University of Warwick- and over 30 international public and private
sector partners. fairspacehub.org.
