Technical Showcase

The UK RAS STEPS Technical Showcase is a premier event designed to celebrate the outstanding achievements of Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) in the field of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS). Taking place on 18th June 2025, the Showcase provides a unique platform for RTPs to showcase their work, gain recognition, and network with industry experts, academics, and professionals from across the robotics community.

The event will feature a series of inspiring and thought-provoking sessions, including presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. It is a chance for those involved in RAS to come together, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of robotics and autonomous systems.

• Workshops and Networking:
  Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops that aim to shape the future of RAS, as well as to network with like-minded professionals. These sessions will cover key topics such as career pathways, emerging trends, and collaborative opportunities within the robotics sector. 

• Awards Presentation:
  We will recognise excellence in three categories: 

• • Outstanding Robotics Engineering 

• • Innovative Teamwork in Robotics 

• • Transformative Robotics Impact 

These awards will celebrate the remarkable achievements of RTPs who have demonstrated exceptional skill, innovation, and collaboration in advancing robotics technologies. 

This is a must-attend event for anyone involved in robotics, whether you’re a technical professional, engineer, academic, or industry leader. Here’s why you should be there: 

• Expand your knowledge and skills:
  With expert-led sessions and hands-on workshops, you’ll gain valuable insights into the latest innovations in RAS and the career pathways available to technical professionals in the field. 

• Network with industry leaders:
  The event offers excellent networking opportunities with some of the top minds in the robotics and autonomous systems community. Connect with fellow professionals, academics, and potential collaborators. 

• Get recognised for your achievements:
  If you’re nominated, the showcase is an incredible opportunity to be celebrated for your hard work and dedication. Being shortlisted means recognition from your peers and industry experts, boosting your professional profile and advancing your career. 

• Be a part of shaping the future of RAS:
  This event is not just about celebrating the present but also about looking ahead. Participate in shaping the future of robotics by engaging in conversations that drive innovation and growth in the sector. 

The STEPS (Strategic Technical Platform for Research Technical Professionals) project, part of the Strategic Technical Platform, aims to provide RTPs with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed in their careers. Through training, mentorship, networking, and collaborative opportunities, STEPS is creating a thriving community of professionals who are passionate about advancing robotics technologies. 

The UK RAS STEPS Technical Showcase is an integral part of this initiative, offering a forum for RTPs to share their work, learn from one another, and contribute to the growing impact of robotics in the world. 

We look forward to seeing you at the UK RAS STEPS Technical Showcase on 18th June 2025.  For any further information, please contact us at info@ukras-steps.org.
