NextGen Ri

What can you learn from a robot? Quite a lot, as it turns out.

We were at the National Education Show in Cardiff last week, showing how robotics can support learning.

Robots can help students understand mechanics, sensors, software and how different systems work together. Programmable models can take that further, giving students hands-on experience with coding, AI and engineering.

They can also simply spark curiosity. How does it move? How does it know what is around it? What could robots be used for in the future?

That is one of the best parts of these events. We show what the technology can do, and educators bring their own ideas about how it could fit into teaching.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat and a closer look.

A great couple of days at the The Emergency Tech Show this week.

We had a brilliant time showcasing how robotics can support emergency responders and chatting to so many people about where the technology could make a real difference.

We even managed to get the whole team to stand still long enough for a photo. No small achievement!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us, ask questions and meet the robots. Great to see so much interest in what they can do.

Dancing into day one at the Emergency Tech Show. We’re at the NEC Birmingham for the next two days. Swing by and say hi!

It’s not long now until The Emergency Tech Show 2026.

We’ll be bringing our robots along to show what they can do in emergency response. That could mean helping police assess a building before officers enter, or giving fire and rescue teams a view into hazardous areas from a safer distance.

Come and see them in action and have a chat with us.

Tickets are free. Register here: www.emergencytechshow.com

NextGen Ri on BBC Newshour.

What does the future hold for humanoid robots?

Our Head of Robotics, Nathan Wallace was interviewed for the programme. He talks about humanoids working in spaces designed for people, the dull, dirty or dangerous tasks they could take on, and why advances in robotics do not automatically mean fewer jobs.

Listen here. You can hear Nathan from around 20 minutes in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1730bn5672cdw9

Four brilliant days at Goodwood Festival of Speed 🏁

We joined Olo Robotics in the Future Lab with the G1 humanoid, A2 and Go2 robots - meeting thousands of people and giving many of them their first close-up look at advanced robotics.

The best part was hearing people imagine where the robots could fit into everyday life, what they could take on and how they might help.

Robotics is much easier to understand when you can see it moving, working and reacting right in front of you.

At a festival built around pushing machines further, it felt like exactly the right place for people to see robotics for themselves and decide where it belongs.

Here’s a little timelapse from the four days.

NextGen Ri will be at the Armed Forces & Emergency Services Day in Weston-super-Mare on 20 June.

We’ll be there with the Network Rail Safety Team, bringing along a few familiar robotic faces.

You’ll also be able to see the robots in action in the main arena display.

It’s a brilliant community event recognising our armed forces and emergency services, and we’re really pleased to be part of it.

Come and see us on the day.

Armed Forces Day

🤖 What a fantastic Sunday in London!

This weekend we were proud to support the AliExpress Summer House Party in Soho, bringing along our Unitree Robotics G1 humanoid robot to help create an unforgettable experience for guests.

From greeting visitors and posing for photos to exploring the venue and even taking a seat behind the wheel of the latest EV on display, the robot certainly attracted plenty of attention throughout the day.

One of the best parts of events like these is seeing people's reactions when they interact with advanced robotics for the first time. The excitement, curiosity, and conversations it creates show just how much potential this technology has beyond traditional industrial applications.

A huge thank you to the AliExpress UK team for having us and for putting on such a great event.

If you're planning an exhibition, corporate event, product launch, festival, or brand activation and want something that really gets people talking, we'd love to hear from you.

📩 Get in touch to find out how our humanoid robots can help make your next event stand out.

We had a blast at GEO Business 2026!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us on the stand.

It was brilliant to catch up with familiar faces, meet new ones, and chat all things robotics and geospatial.

If you didn’t get the chance to speak to us at the show, or if you’d like to know more about the robots, we’d love to hear from you.

See you at the next one!
