As reported earlier this month, the Arm Research Summit is returning to Cambridge, following the success of 2016. Hosted at Robinson College between 11-13 September 2017, this technical conference will explore future trends and disruptive technologies across all sectors of computing.
The important thing about the Summit is that we’re building the Arm Ecosystem around academia – working with academics and other researchers and finding areas of mutual interest.
Eric Hennenhoefer, VP Research, Arm
This year’s three-day program covers a wide selection of computing topics, with guest speakers from Google, Microsoft Research and AstraZeneca, as well as many of the world’s leading research centres in computer science. More program details have now been released, so be sure to visit the Summit website for the latest details.
As well as a multi-track program packed with talks, demonstrations and workshops from leaders in their research fields, Arm Research are excited to announce that this year’s delegates will also be able to meet a very special guest.
Pepper is the first humanoid robot capable of recognising the principal human emotions and adapting his behaviour to the mood of whoever he is interacting with. Using the recognition of voice, facial expressions, body movements and language, Pepper interprets your emotion and offers appropriate content. He will be at Robinson College for the duration of the Summit, giving plenty of opportunities for delegates to interact and experience the latest in robotic technology first-hand.
Of course, there will also be plenty of human networking opportunities, along with the chance to interact and discuss projects with members of Arm Research.
After three days of inspiring content around this year’s theme; ‘Computing for the Connected World’, we are sure that attendees will leave enthusiastic to initiate new research projects. As well as the latest research insights from the Summit program, all delegates will also take away a Raspberry Pi 3. With wireless LAN and Bluetooth connectivity built-in, it’s perfect for connected computing projects.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from some of the most pioneering minds in technical research, and discuss your own research projects or proposals with like-minded individuals. Register before 7 July to take advantage of our Early Bird discount.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge this September!
My personal highlight of 2016 was the vibrant audience from all over the world. People were asking good questions in the presentations and themselves giving good presentations – I really enjoyed the exchange of ideas.
