# Event Details - **Event Name**: RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 12:30 pm – Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Join us in Milton Keynes --the UK’s Urban Laboratory- and help guide the future as robotic devices take their place in every day life.About this EventAs robotic devices take their place in every day life, working alongside people, on production lines, delivering groceries and takeaways, cleaning airports, and assisting surgery, Milton Keynes City Council is hosting a unique opportunity during Milton Keynes Tech Week to inform recommendations and set out a vision for what is fast becoming the latest technical wave impacting society. This event has two opportunities to engage:From 12.30pm workshops invite you to consult on standards and respond to scenarios where robots are deployed in public spacesEvening reception and panel : A future with Robots in everyday life, hosted with the support of Smart City Consultancy with welcome address from Alice Clouter, Deputing Director Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO).Milton Keynes has long been home to pavement robots, self-driving vehicles and drones, and is actively working to establish RoboPASS—a licensing framework to assure and oversee safe and secure robotic deployments in open public spaces. This is your opportunity to ask questions, explore the role robots have to play, learn more and consult on initiatives with the innovators and experts that are navigating development, including representatives from Milton Keynes City Council and other local authorities, regulators, central government, businesses, educators and smart city experts. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/23e79230-c407-11f1-961b-edf15f9dca82-rimg-w1200-h710-dc080808-gmir.jpg Agenda at a glance:doors open 12:30 (lunch provided) Daytime formatdelegates choose from two of the three 1.5 hour round table workshop sessions (described below.)13:00 – RoboPass the project – Insights and Recommendations 13:30 - workshops round 115:00 - session change and break 15:15 - workshops round 216:45 - 17:15 - summary discussion17:15 - Evening Refreshments18:15- Welcome address and presentations18:45 Panel and Q&A20:00 -closeWorkshop descriptions for daytime sessions - delegates choose from two of the three sessions described below.1/ Navigating the opportunity: use cases, benefits and concernscollating understanding and emergent service development and deployment experience for potential uses of mobile robotic device-enabled services. The session focusses on the economic and social benefit cases, associated impacts to be anticipated such as the demands on public infrastructure (physical and digital), nuisance and vandalism, or crowding to review considerations for viable service delivery.2/Licensing and permitting: managing complexity of the HighwayThis workshop examines the licensing process developed within RoboPASS and underlying structures needed to issue licenses and manage governance models and reporting for real‑world adoption of robotics in urban and public spaces. These include expectations for safely tackling the complexities of navigating these spaces, task delivery, service viability and human-robot interaction as well as considerations for urban planning, infrastructure, and the rules that maintain respect for public rights and social value crucial to fostering public acceptance and trust.3/ Assurance factors and underpinning standardsThis session reviews the taxonomy of assurance factors being advanced with the support of BSI covering key assurance domains for safe, lawful and trusted deployment of autonomous robots in shared public environments, including system integrity, autonomous decision-making, operational safety, security, and governance. Mapping the most relevant national and international standards and examining gaps where current standards are insufficient, the aim is to inform priorities for a defensible assurance framework for publicway robotics. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/milton-keynes/robopass-getting-ready-for-an-innovative-era/100001993834254929 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours 30 minutes - Location: MK Gallery - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Milton Keynes - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: MK Gallery - **lat**: 52.04455429999999 - **long**: -0.7489931 - **full address**: MK Gallery, 900 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/fd0018d3cc787601cfd8d5a7a35a568768f1f3858562abbd88dac1b7c96fa891-rimg-w1200-h1416-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786586426 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era being held? - **A:** RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era takes place on Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 12:30 pm to Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at MK Gallery, 900 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era? - **A:** RoboPASS: Getting Ready for an Innovative Era is organized by Milton Keynes City Council. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
