The Robotics Global Colloquia is a series of live online events organized by IFRR. It has been conceived to provide a platform for open discussion and interaction on diverse themes in robotics – from research and applications to the field’s social impact and its ethical issues. The series alternates between panels and speakers on specific topics. Past colloquia are accessible through the IFRR YouTube channel.
We hope you join us for this special event.
