Middlesex students programme the first robot to speak in Parliament


Our resident robot, Pepper, made history by becoming the first non-human to give evidence in the UK Parliament.


Pepper answered questions from the Education Select Committee of the House of Commons on what the Fourth Industrial Revolution means for education. Programmed by Engineering and Computer Science students, the robot’s testimony was an example of how Middlesex staff and students are involved in important conversations taking place regarding the future of higher education, and work to influence government policy.


Pepper and the student programmers received a huge amount of media coverage and won a HEIST marketing award for Best PR or Communications campaign.

Changing the Culture is a University-wide initiative aimed at tackling sexual violence, harassment and hate crime. It stems from a successful Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) fund bid and subsequent investment from the University for events, training resources, media campaigns and showcasing work from our students.


Students and staff across the University are involved in the five campaigns, which cover celebrating diversity, exploring identity, challenging prejudice and discrimination, addressing sexual violence, and raising awareness and building confidence.


Middlesex research to help monitor babies’ lung function


Professor Richard Bayford and the Continuous Regional Analysis Device for neonate Lung (CRADL) team are leading the development of technology that could save the lives of millions of premature babies. The imaging technique developed for the research project means that for the first time doctors can accurately monitor babies’ lung function without the need for sedation.
