Robotics Day

Waterloo Robotics Day

The Waterloo Robotics Day will bring together robotics researchers and graduate students at Waterloo and provide an opportunity to share the extraodinary robotics research that is happening on campus.

We will have industry representatives from the region, and a combination of teaser talks by research group leaders and poster sessions by students and postdocs.

This event is co-organized by the Human-Centred Robotics & Machine Intelligence research group and RoboHub.
