In the vibrant field of autonomous systems, the necessity for integrating ethical, societal, and environmental considerations is paramount. ORBIT is thrilled to engage with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems (AIMS) @aims_oxford at Oxford @UniofOxford to enrich the curriculum with our focused Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) training.

AIMS CDT excels in merging cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and cyber-physical systems with practical applications, addressing challenges in sectors from sustainable urban development to healthcare. This interdisciplinary framework not only emphasises the creation of technically sophisticated solutions but also underscores the importance of their ethical and societal alignment.

As a beacon for pioneering education in autonomous systems, AIMS CDT is committed to shaping a new generation of researchers who are not merely adept in complex technological skills, but are also keenly aware of the broader consequences of their work. By weaving RRI principles throughout their training, AIMS CDT is setting a standard for ensuring that innovations in autonomy positively influence society and the environment.

RRI in the realm of autonomous systems pushes researchers to consider more than just the technical aspects of their work; it encourages them to think about the ethical dimensions and societal impacts as well. This philosophy is in perfect harmony with AIMS’s mission to tackle real-world problems through advanced, interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
