TC Poster Session and Networking Event- 16 July 2020

 

TC Poster Session and Networking Event Associated with ICRA 2020

Happy summer! We hope you all are staying safe and well, and perhaps starting to get back into the labs with your robots. The co-chairs of the Technical Committee on Model-Based Optimization for Robotics are happy to announce the networking event surrounding ICRA 2020.

In the absence of in-person interactions at ICRA 2020, our TC will hold a virtual poster session and networking event on Thursday, 16 July 2020, 9:30-11:00 AM EST (13:30-15:00 GMT).

We will kick off the event with a short welcome on zoom and then hold two 40-minute poster sessions. We will use the platform spatial.chat to replicate informal interactions and conversations (inspired by its success at Dynamic Walking 2020 — thanks to Michael Posa and Aaron Johnson!).

If you plan to participate in the TC event with a poster, please register here.

Posters covering ICRA papers, recent journals, and/or other work in progress are encouraged.

 

Deadlines:

Poster Registration and Submission: July 13th- register here

Event Registration: Not required, access links and info provided here.

You can test drive spatial.chat using one of our poster rooms here (https://spatial.chat/s/tc-)

 

TC-Related ICRA 2020 Paper Repository Combing through over 1500 ICRA papers has been daunting for many. To help us all out, please register your TC-related ICRA paper here. You can view the aggregated list here.
