Robotics Short Seminars (RS2)
Overview: The "Robotics Short Seminars" correspond to a set of biweekly talks that are provided in order to cover current trends in robotics research.
A calendar is maintained to keep track of what will be presented, while the presentation materials will -in general - become available once each presentation is given.
We are inviting all students to come, raise their questions, discuss alternative methods, share project ideas, and broadly identify new ways to participate in robotics research activities.
