How do machinery and AI regulations affect the development and operation of robotic systems? Join UK RAS STEPS on Tuesday 17 November 2026, from 11am to noon GMT, for an online webinar exploring the EU Machinery Regulation, the AI Act and the evidence organisations need to consider.

Dr Don Munasinghe, R&D Lead and Co-founder of RAVASEC Ltd, will lead the 60-minute session, hosted by Marie Daniels on Microsoft Teams.

What the session will cover

• Key requirements of the incoming regulatory framework
• Requirements affecting systems whose controllers can propose their own actions
• What conformity and technical evidence can mean in practice
• How UK duties sit alongside the EU regulatory regime
• Common evidence and compliance gaps in research environments

The session will conclude with a demonstration from RAVASEC’s work. The same scenario will run twice with an identical AI controller, showing operation with and without an independent runtime safety layer.

About the speaker

Dr Don Munasinghe is R&D Lead and Co-founder of RAVASEC Ltd, a UK company developing an independent runtime safety layer for AI-driven and humanoid robots, alongside conformity evidence for European machinery and AI regimes.

He completed his PhD, A Semi-Autonomous Real-Time IDPS for Cobots, at the University of West London. The research became ROS-PCon, which progressed through Innovate UK’s CyberASAP accelerator in 2022–23.
