Institute for Safe Autonomy, Department of Computer Science and Ron Cooke Hub
Campus East, University of York
Embedded Files
Organised by the UKRI TAS Node in Resilience on behalf of the UKRI TAS Programme, the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems in Health and Social Care Workshop will bring together health and social care practitioners, researchers, developers, operators, end users, policy makers and regulators, to discuss challenges and solutions for the trustworthy adoption of autonomous systems in health and social care.
The workshop will include keynotes from leading experts, presentations, demonstrations and poster sessions, panel debates, guided tours of the Institute for Safe Autonomy, a new £45m flagship research centre at the University of York, as well as ample opportunities for networking.
Registration
The registration for in-person participation is now closed.

Tuesday 7th June 2022
12:00-13:00 Participant arrival, registration and buffet lunch - Department of Computer Science, Campus East
13:00-14:00 Keynote: Engineering NHS Resilience in the Pandemic First Wave (Chair: Ibrahim Habli)
Tom Lawton – Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation
The demands placed on the NHS by the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of 2020 were unprecedented in the life of the NHS, but the response showed the best of what can be achieved when people are united by a single purpose. Using the real-life example of Bradford Royal Infirmary, this talk will discuss human resilience, the engineering response, and discuss how lessons from the pandemic may be relevant to healthcare Artificial Intelligence.
Tom Lawton is a Consultant in Critical Care and Anaesthesia and Head of Clinical Artificial Intelligence at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Director of Clinical Analytics at the Improvement Academy in the Bradford Institute for Health Research. He is a former computer programmer and current NHS-R fellow, and an affiliated member of the Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Translational Research Centre. As a Visiting Fellow of the Assuring Autonomy International Programme he is actively involved in the responsible introduction of AI into healthcare. He was awarded an MBE in 2020 for his work on COVID-19.

09:00-10:00 Keynote: Human-centric data driven resilience for assistive robots (Chair: Radu Calinescu)
Sanja Dogramadzi – University of Sheffield
A major barrier to deployment of RAS systems in healthcare sectors is the assurance of safety in such systems, and the ability to ensure confidence in their design and use. A critical step in making machines safe to engage in physical contact with humans is to endow them with human-like sensing to adapt their response to external stimuli. Autonomous robots cannot be safely adopted in the healthcare domain without making significant advances in physical and cognitive adaptation to the ever changing dynamic environments in which they have to operate. This is of utmost importance in robotic applications that require close physical human-robot interaction where resilient operation is a precursor for safety. Resilience in this context requires the continuous monitoring of the user and environmental states, and using the observations from this monitoring to predict and detect failures, and to adapt the robot’s behavior proactively and efficiently. In the context of having users in the loop, communication with the autonomous agent through multi-modal sensing can ensure safe task execution and consequently build trustworthy human-robot interaction.
Sanja Dogramadzi is a Professor of Medical Robotics at the University of Sheffield. She has over 20 years of research experience in surgical and physically assistive robots, safe human-robot interaction and soft robotic structures. She has led numerous EPSRC, Horizon 2020, NIHR and Innovate UK projects as PI. She has expertise in soft robotics, sensing, image-guided control, haptics, teleoperation and safety in close physical human-robot interaction.
