  • Generating 3D Models with Diffusion
    E4
    Generating 3D Models with DiffusionWhen the 3D dataset is too small to create models of frogs on stilts we have to think of a different way - Lewis Stuart is based at the University of Nottingham and explains how you can use 2D diffusion to create 3D models.

  • Haptic Rendering
    E12
    Haptic RenderingHaptics, often associated with video game controllers, are systems that provide a touch sensation for users, but how do we calculate the forces involved? Associate Professor of Robotics and Autonomous Systems Dr Ayse Kucukyilmaz is based at the University of Nottingham.
