The session was really from a personal perspective and journey, covering where I think robots in home and schools are going, and an overview of some of the projects I have been involved. First, part was the presentation - the slides are shown below.
The videos used in the presentations are shown below. The first video is an introduction and welcome from Red the Nao robot.
Next video shows a programmed Cozmo, using Anki's graphical programming language.
Second section of the session was playing with the robots. Red the Nao, an Anki Cozmo and an UBtech Alpha2 and having a play with a Crumble-based junkbots. Crumble junkbots were used on PC and Raspberry Pi via Pi-top CEED.

Highlights of the evening were Red going for a walk 'hand-in-hand' with one of the audience and Cozmo chatting away; as always (and rightly) the stars of the talk are the robots.
