At the Innovation Showcase, professionals from top colleges shared their expertise with the public at locations throughout Gravesend. The Crawlybots, four-wheeled, flexible robots with big LED eyes that can mimic animal traits, were among the most well-liked displays on exhibit.
The presentation provided “a glimpse into the future and how it can improve and affect everyone’s life in a positive way,” according to John McKiernan, founder of Fourth Portal, the organisation that organised it. During a series of free events, the employment of robotics, artificial intelligence, and enhanced research were discussed with the goal of showcasing the prospects accessible to locals.
The Crawlybots’ creator, Andy Payne of Mechanismo Ltd., expressed his desire to inspire a new generation to fuse art and science to produce useful products. “The main reason we go out and do these things is to bring joy, enthuse and encourage people to play and explore with new technology,” he stated.
A team from the University of Nottingham, lead by Dr. Alan Chamberlain, gave a series of talks in the Julius Caesar Restaurant, one of several establishments along the High Street that hosted events. “I believe it’s crucial to visit locations like this,” Dr. Chamberlain stated. “It gives academics like myself the opportunity to talk to the general public to get their opinions on what’s important to them in regards to AI and robotics.”
Gravesend native Emil Otto Munteanu, a computer science student at the University of Nottingham, continued: “Seeing my town, which has endured so much, especially in the past few years, come back to life gives me hope for the future.” Volunteer Sabrina Ferrazza expressed her hope that the event would contribute to the transformation of North Kent into a technological hub, saying, “I hope Gravesend gets more opportunities to innovate and grow as a community.” New technology in the area is fantastic, and it’s “exciting to see where it can lead,” according to Ann-Marie Langley, who is visiting from Maidstone.
