Great day yesterday, looking to the future of how robots can support us in delivering care and drive efficiency in the New Hospital Programme. Thanks to the The National Robotarium in Edinburgh for showing us the art of the possible. Such an enspiring day.

We welcome this week’s report from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. At the #TheNationalRobotarium, we're ideally placed to help the UK Government realise the transformative benefits of robotics and support the UK to drive forward a stronger robotics ecosystem.   Our facility serves as a hub for innovation, industry collaboration, and the commercialisation of robotics technologies. We're seeing first hand how robotics can drive economic growth and improve public services, from health and social care to renewable energy.   The UK has the talent and innovative spirit to lead in robotics. What we need now is the right infrastructure and policy environment to match.   This report's recommendations align closely with our call for a network of specialised robotics facilities across Britain and Northern Ireland which could help to position the UK as a global leader in robotics innovation and manufacturing.   We're proud to have contributed to this important report, and we look forward to continuing to play a key role in shaping the UK's robotics future.   #Robotics #Innovation #UKTech #HelpingHealth #HelpingPeople #HelpingIndustry #HelpingSociety #TheNationalRobotarium Stewart Miller   Heriot-Watt University | Data-Driven Innovation Initiative
