Description

Aimed at SMEs, charities, the logistics industry, software engineers and investors, this event will offer an opportunity for businesses and the third sector to understand the potential of robotic logistics and how they can be incorporated into their business. Delegates will gain new perspectives on potential collaborations and technology integration available.

During the event, a collaborative project between a Leicester robot delivery start-up, a university and a local charity will be discussed.

In order for Suresh Patel’s start-up to develop and test their technology, they began working with Product Design Academics at De Montfort University to collaborate in the development of their robotic vehicle. Both parties were keen for this establishing product to be focused on aspects of social good and sustainable practice – and so a partnership was agreed with local charity ‘Feed Leicester’ to develop a product that would collect surplus food from businesses around the city centre – and deliver it daily to volunteers at their food bank.
