SUMMARY:Pint of Science - Breaking Reality
DESCRIPTION:\n\nBOOK NOW\nWitness the technology redefining our physical wo
 rld. Explore how agri-food robotics and AI applications are transforming t
 he way we live and work. From the farm to the deep ocean\, discover how ad
 vanced marine surveying is protecting vital ecosystems and breaking the bo
 undaries of what we thought possible.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransforming Ag
 riculture\, One Robot at a Time\n\nEduardo Cedillo Hernández (Postgradua
 te researcher\, University of Essex)\n\n\n\nWe’re building smart robots 
 for farming—machines that can pick strawberries\, handle lettuce\, and o
 perate in unstructured environments where we don’t control everything.\n
 \nIt sounds simple\, but farms are messy\, unpredictable\, and full of edg
 e cases that break even the smartest systems. Our work focuses on: giving 
 robots the ability to perceive\, decide\, and act in the real world—not 
 just in simulations or labs.\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll share what it actua
 lly takes to build these systems\, what goes wrong (a lot)\, and what this
  could mean for the future of food\, automation\, and how we design intell
 igent machines for real-world applications.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Vi
 sion to Intelligence: How AI Understands the Physical World\n\nMinerva Sar
 ma (Data Scientist (KTP Associate)\, University of Essex)\n\n\n\nWhat if 
 machines could not only see\, but think about what they see? This talk exp
 lores how computer vision is helping AI interpret real-world environments
 —detecting objects\, understanding spaces\, and making decisions in seco
 nds. Through interactive demos and real examples\, discover how visual AI 
 is transforming everyday industries\, where it still gets things wrong\, a
 nd why the future of AI is about turning sight into intelligence.\n\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOceans\, Algorithms\, and a Changing Blue Planet\n\nDr Jon 
 Chamberlain (Senior Lecturer\, University of Essex)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ocean 
 covers 70% of our planet\, yet much of it remains unseen. As technology tr
 ansforms how we explore the deep\, how do we gather accurate knowledge of 
 marine environments? Discover how computers are learning to “see” bene
 ath the waves\, and how this is helping protect vital ecosystems. A though
 t-provoking journey into oceans\, algorithms\, and the future of our blue 
 planet.\n\n\n\n\n
