Future Debates: Robots and autonomous systems – Come to a debate near you!
Come to a debate near you! http://bsa.sc/futuredebates
Self-checkouts, drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles- technology is becoming more prevalent in today’s society, and we’re surrounded by robotics and autonomous systems.
Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) are technologies that can perform actions without human guidance. These robots can have various degrees of autonomy, from completing a repetitive task in a fixed and predictable environment to gathering information about different situations and deciding on the best course of action.
Recent developments have thrust a wide range of new technologies and potential applications into the spotlight. These include advances in artificial intelligence, machine vision and physical movement technologies that are being combined to approach a wide variety of issues.
Come and discuss the impact of Robotics and Autonomous Systems at a Future Debate near you!

What are the Future Debates?
We want to empower people- not just scientists- to constructively engage in debates over science’s role in their lives, their local economy, and the UK’s future.
We want these conversations to happen at a local level, so we teamed up with our network of branches and other organisations to create a series of Future Debates across the country. We want to find out what people think of a big issue in science and technology that could potentially have a significant impact on our society. Each year, Future Debates will focus on a particular issue. This year we’re focussing on Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS).
