SUMMARY:Utilizing Paid Advertising for Business Growth
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\nBusinesses are being told that social media is the way to go to grow their sales\, but no one tells us how to grow a following. This workshop will help to bridge that gap. \nReach is one of the most difficult things to grow for any business online\, when starting out or breaking through a stagnant time. Followers do not come over night. We can ask our friends\, family\, customers to like our social media pages but it takes time to grow a following online through a business page. \nFacebook\, Instagram and LinkedIn are businesses in their own right making money through advertising. Therefore\, many businesses need to turn to paid advertising to grow their following and get their brand outside their current reach. \nThis workshop will focus on giving you the hints\, tips and knowledge you need to think about before putting any budget into targeted campaigns. It will help to ensure that you are investing your money right. \nTopics covered include: \n\nWhen to do paid advertising.\nWhat to expect from a paid advertisement\nHow to run a campaign.\nHow to get the right content in front of the right people

SUMMARY:Physical Human-Robot Interaction Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Research Talks and a Networking Lunch on Physical Human-Robot Interaction at BRL\nAgenda\nLunch session \n12:00 – 14:30 : Networking lunch (Venue TBD) \nAfternoon session (BRL Seminar Room) \n14:30 – 15:00 : Welcome and Introduction by Tactile Robotics group \n15:00 – 15:40 : Invited talk + Q&A \n15:40 – 15:55 : Coffee break \n15:55 – 16:35 : Invited talk + Q&A \n16:35 – 17:15 : Invited talk + Q&A \n17:15 – 18:00 : Open discussion \n  \nInvited Talks:\nRobot Learning for Intelligent Assistants – Georgia Chalvatzaki \nSocietal factors like the increase in the elderly population\, the lack of nursing staff\, the hectic rhythms of everyday life\, and the Covid-19 pandemic\, make the need for intelligent robotic assistants more urgent than ever. This talk covers human activity recognition and understanding; the combination of classical and machine learning methods for robot action planning and control; reinforcement learning methods for adaptive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI); and methods for learning to plan long-horizon tasks.  \nControl methods for physical human-robot interaction applications – Zoe Doulgeri \nOver the last few decades\, industrial robots have been widely deployed in the manufacturing industry\, relieving workers from repetitive\, unhealthy or arduous jobs with their workspace being strictly separated from that of humans for safety. Collaborative robots is a new generation of industrial robots that can work along side and with humans as co-workers or assistants.  \nLearning Adaptive Motor Skills for Dexterous Manipulation and Grasping – Zhibin (Alex) Li \nThis talk will focus on machine learning based approaches for achieving autonomous manipulation and grasping capabilities. I will cover the topics of (1) learning reactive reaching and grasping of flying objects; (2) learning bimanual manipulation with direct sim2real transfer; (3) learning from real data of a handful of human demonstrations; and (4) how novel tactile sensors with soft embodiment design can help learning dexterous and fine motor skills without the need of computationally intensive simulations. \nSpeaker Bios:\nDr. Georgia Chalvatzaki is an Assistant Professor and the research leader of the intelligent robotic systems for assistance (iROSA) group at TU Darmstadt. She received the Emmy Noether grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG) in 2021. In iROSA\, her team researches the topic of “Robot Learning of Mobile Manipulation for Intelligent Assistance\,” investigating novel methods for combined planning and learning to enable mobile manipulator robots to solve complex tasks in house-like environments with the human-in-the-loop of the interaction process. \nLab website: iROSA lab \nZoe Doulgeri is a Professor of Robotics and Control of Manufacturing Systems in the Automation and Robotics Lab of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).  She teaches Control Systems and Robotics\, and has authored more than 150 publications in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. \nHer current research interests include the topics of physical human robot interaction\, robot teaching and learning by demonstration\, bimanual mobile robots\, object grasping and manipulation with analytical and data based learning methods and the control of uncertain robotic systems. \nLab website: Automation and Robotics Lab \nZhibin (Alex) Li is an Associate Professor at the University College London and leads the Advanced Robotics Intelligence Laboratory. His work in 2019-2020 – “multi-expert learning of adaptive legged locomotion” – is the first implementation of a multi-expert learning architecture for adaptive quadrupedal locomotion on a real robot (selected as the cover for December 2020 issue of Science Robotics). \nHis research interest covers dynamic motion skills of locomotion and manipulation\, optimization-based motion planning and control\, and deep reinforcement learning for robot motor learning including locomotion\, manipulation and grasping. \nLab website: Advanced Intelligent Robotics Lab

SUMMARY:How to shape your people strategy before you raise venture funding
DESCRIPTION:Workshop with ISL Talent\nTime: 11am – 12.30pm\nLocation: Future Space\, Curie Meeting Room \nGrowth in startup teams is often driven by VC investment\, and most founders would nod their head at the line “our people are our greatest asset”. \nBut the most successful ones have a plan for developing that key competitive advantage\, rather than waiting for the funds to arrive and only then working out where to invest in their people strategy. \nIf you’ve got to the stage of seeking venture investment you should have the basics of your hiring process in place\, but if not then we’ll check on that in this session. And if you really want to make a positive impact from your funding\, we’ll cover the planning\, storytelling\, and data you’ll need to build the best team. \nJoin Alan Furley from ISL Talent as he takes you through this session on recruitment strategies to get the most out of your funding (and ultimately attract more).
