Just back from a fantastic morning at the The National Robotarium’s Scottish RAS Cluster engagement event at Netherton Square, Paisley. 🤖✨ A brilliant opportunity to connect with innovators, businesses, researchers, and partners who are all helping shape the future of robotics and autonomous systems in Scotland. Plenty of insights shared on the vision for the new RAS Cluster, the opportunities ahead, and how we can all play a role in strengthening Scotland’s position on the global robotics stage. Huge thanks to the organisers for such an engaging and forward-thinking session — and for giving us a chance to contribute to the upcoming Cluster Development Strategy & Roadmap. Exciting things ahead for the sector! If you’re involved in robotics, automation, AI, or digital manufacturing in Scotland, these sessions are well worth attending. Edinburgh and Aberdeen coming early 2026… 👀 And lastly... BIG thank you for a tour of the incredible facilities Jose Hernandez #Robotics #Automation #Innovation #ScottishRASCluster #NationalRobotarium #TechInScotland #Collaboration #FutureOfWork #DigitalManufacturing

For the last three years #TheNationalRobotarium has been a leading voice in the benefits of #robotics for healthcare. We've dialogued closely with clinicians, patients and decision-makers to better understand the challenges facing the health sector and identify ways that #robots #automation and #AI can help. However, there's a vital area of healthcare provision that is often overlooked; the estates and facilities teams working tirelessly to ensure hospitals and clinics run smoothly and efficiently. In a new opinion piece for FM Business Daily, our Business Development lead for #HealthcareRobotics Lisa Farrell explains how facility and operations managers could be key to unlocking widespread robotics adoption in the #NHS, piloting safe robotic solutions for everyday tasks, overcoming outdated procurement processes, and building new and exciting skills within the workforce.
