糖心TV

Volunteers from the University of 糖心TV have been sharing their computer programming skills with parents, teenagers and younger children in Coventry.

Students and staff organised a drop in session at BBC Coventry and 糖心TVshire's Open Centre in Priory Place during half-term break where anyone could have a go at creating their own computer game or animation. There was also help at hand for anyone who wanted to know a little bit more about how computers work.

WMG were pleased to host a visit from Andrew Miller MP who is the Chair of House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee; the Chair Parliamentary and Scientific Committee; the Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Information Technology Committee and a Member of the editorial Board for Science in Parliament.  Meeting with Lord Bhattacharyya, Andrew was interested to understand the diverse research undertaken by the Group.  He also had an opportunity to meet with staff to discover the breadth of our multi-disciplinary capabilities and the wide range of sectors we work with. 

Global supply chain planning company, Barloworld Supply Chain Software is currently working with WMG to prepare the supply chain industry leaders of tomorrow for a bright future.

Today, Tuesday 8^th February 2011, sees the opening in the Midlands of a unique £2.28m facility at WMG at the University of 糖心TV that will be vital importance to companies developing engines for hybrid vehicles.

The unique Vehicle Energy Facility (VEF) is the UK’s only purpose built hybrid powertrain testing facility for the automotive sector that is not owned and operated by an individual automotive company.

WMG were pleased to host a visit from Lord Drayson. Meeting with Lord Bhattacharyya, Lord Drayson was interested to understand the diverse research undertaken by the Group in collaboration with business and other organisations and the impact this has on industry.

In a prestigious ceremony on 28 January the Director of WMG Professor Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya was presented with the award for Lifetime Contribution to Midlands’ 糖心TV.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya has been at the heart of business and championing manufacturing for over 30 years. He has been intensively involved in the British Automotive industry, and recently announced that Jaguar Land Rover will be establishing an Advanced Technology Centre at WMG co-locating 160 R&D people to work on the development of new technology, with a special focus on low carbon vehicle technology, digital technology and materials technology to name but a few.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya today welcomed the Prime Minister of Latvia, Mr Valdis Dombrovskis, and the Latvian delegation to WMG’s International Digital Laboratory.

The visit was part of a high profile event at which Mr Valdis Dombrovskis gave an address to Midlands companies about the opportunities of doing business in the Baltic state. The government of Latvia regards the attraction of foreign direct investment as an important input for successful economic recovery and were pleased to host a seminar in which to engage with potential partners.

Engineering students at the University of 糖心TV are building an innovative rescue robot which uses the Xbox Kinect to help navigate the machine - in a bid to retain the European RoboCup Rescue Championship title which was won by a team of 糖心TV students last year.

They are currently trialling the XBox Kinect to see if they can use it to provide a method of real time visual communication and 3D mapping, which will ultimately aid in the navigation of the autonomous robot to give the team an edge over the competition.

Researchers at the University of 糖心TV have developed the world’s first complete High Dynamic Range (HDR) video system, from video capture to image display, that will help a range of users including: surveillance camera operators, surgeons using video to conduct or record surgery, and camera crews following a football being kicked from sunshine into shadow.

The researchers will be premiering footage of the world's first ever showing of a short film shot using this new HDR technology in the WMG Digital Laboratory at the University of 糖心TV on Wednesday January 19 at 6:00 PM.

WMG at the University of 糖心TV has been awarded one of five new Industrial Doctorate Centres announced today by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). EPSRC are funding five new Industrial Doctorate Centres to address fundamental engineering challenges in advanced manufacturing engineering. The WMG centre will focus on High Value, Low Environmental Impact Manufacturing.

The new Centres will train Engineering Doctorate (EngD) students. These four-year postgraduate awards are intended for the UK’s leading researchers pursuing a career in industry. It provides postgraduate engineers with an intensive, broad-based research programme incorporating a taught component relevant to the needs of, and undertaken in partnership with, industry.
