  WMG Talks: Long Live Steel

  Dying, decaying, defeated? Public perception of the steel industry could not be further from the truth – without steel-based technology no one would have arrived at Russ’ talk, or had anywhere to sit if they did. Russ helps us see how integral steel is to all our lives and shows us the incredible things that can be done with one of the most versatile materials around. He gives steel’s image an elegant make-over and makes us fall in love with steel again.

  WMG Talks: What is a Supercapacitor and How Are They Different to Batteries?

  Evé sets the scene for a showdown between two heroes of electricity – Battery Man versus Super Capacitor – and explains why you’re set for the day after a banana but hyper and driven after blue smarties. She explains why batteries are great for one application, but supercapacitors are the lesser known but by no means less useful cousin of the battery. Finally, she reveals a hidden trick – that a hybrid of these two superhero technologies could provide a lot of answers for electric vehicle applications.

  SWARM Demonstration at WMG, University of Warwick

  Autonomous pods SWARM together like bees in the world's first demonstration. Autonomous pods born in Coventry are now able to swarm together in a world first, thanks to research by WMG at the University of Warwick in partnership with Aurrigo and Milton Keynes council. With the concept of driverless pods now more realistic than futuristic, the vehicles are one step closer to being put to use, as they can now help each other to drive and navigate through pedestrian areas around people. The concept of Swarming pods was well received by the public, with the ultimate idea of using an app to hail a pod, or a platoon of pods if travelling in a group, seen as the next evolution of personal and public transport. The pods are designed for pedestrian areas and shared spaces, so public transport can be used on highways and the pods can be used as a “first and last mile service”. Researchers at WMG integrated Swarm intelligence into the Pods by implementing swarming skills typically used by birds and insects. The success of ‘swarming’ means that Pods can now schedule themselves to form a ‘platoon’, following each other when possible, to minimise the number of individual vehicle movements and the need for a supervisor per pod. In the future, it’s expected that a supervisor can watch several pods and report any unexpected behaviour. The technology also enables the Pods, working within a fleet, to automatically optimise their behaviour to meet future passenger demand by distributing themselves within a city to the areas where they will most likely be requested.
