A Bristol-based project involving young people in working with robots is taking its findings to the Houses of Parliament.

Robotic Visions is staging an exhibition in Westminster Hall tomorrow to showcase the results of three years of work across the UK.

Robotic Visions is led by award-winning science communicator Dr Karen Bultitude from the University of the West of England and Dr Claire Rocks.

It has been encouraging youngsters to consider the future impact of robots in society and the potential of robotics research.

Conferences have been held in Bristol, Newcastle, Glasgow and Oxford.

To date the students have identified three key areas where they foresee robotics research heading: medicine, the military and in the home.

Among the speakers at the Parliamentary event will be Dr Professor Alan Winfield from UWE. One of the questions asked will be: "We want you to consider the problem of who is responsible if a robot goes wrong and have sensible laws in place."
