Join us on campus on April 17th for our next symposium: an interdisciplinary event where thought leaders from across the private and public sectors will come together to discuss and learn about both current and future applications of human-centric robotics and related technologies, including the current attention surrounding humanoid robots.

The day will include talks and panels from experts in diverse fields with critical insights into human-centric robotics, as well as exhibitors and lightning talks from across our community.

Speakers and Panelists

The talks and panels held throughout the day will include experts from across academia and industry who are either actively working directly in the field of human-centric robotics, including developing humanoids and social robots, or making a significant interdisciplinary impact in the field through their contributions in adjacent fields.

They will discuss and respond to questions related to the potential impact of robotics and related technologies on our personal and professional lives over the next 5 - 10 years.

Domain Experts

In addition to our speakers and panellists, we have invited experts from across a diverse set of interdisciplinary fields to take part in our event. These experts will be providing questions for our speakers and panellists throughout the more formal elements of the symposium, as well as being available throughout the networking sessions to chat with all of our other attendees.

Exhibitors and Invited Organizations

As part of the symposium, some members of our Research Team and organizations taking part in our Professional Partnership Program will have booths set up where you can talk to experts across our community, learn what their labs and organizations are all about, and see some exciting demos of robots, sensors, and other technology.

Throughout the day, you will have several opportunities to network with our members and partners without missing any of our talks, including during the extended networking break over lunch and after the last talk of the day. You will also have opportunities to connect with other organizations included below, who we've invited to join us for the event.
