On 11th April academics working on the Orca Hub project met to discuss the state of the project, to show demonstration, prototypes, data and to brain storm about future development of the project.
In the morning David Lane entertained us with his colourful introduction and enthusiasm. He encouraged each of us to grow within our expertise areas. Helen Hastie talked about natural language communication and how this frontier aims to team up humans and robots.
In the afternoon in smaller groups we discussed specific topics and I was involved in the data validation and sharing group. Data is the materia prima of decision making, therefore it is fundamental to produce trustworthy data. We decided to mine existing datasets to validate our data, to set an ORCA hub data processing and quality check protocol and to tackle the criticalities that concern industries.
Being new to the robotic world I always find myself mesmerised about the huge possibilities opened by technology, within the ORCA hub we are at the border of human knowledge and it is just thrilling.
