AI in Robotics Reading group is organized by the Faculty and Students at the Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto for students across the world to present and interact with the Toronto Robotics Community.
Format: Opportunities for students to present their research and connect with peers from other institutions are inceasingly getting rarer. This phenomenon is sped up by low rate of oral/spotlights at top AI meetings and all events going virtual/online. This series aims to create such a platform for students to present their work in a friendly setting and get feedback and hopefully build new collaborations and network.
We meet from 1030 to 1130 EST on Fridays. See in other time zones
The meetings will be hosted on youtube with hosts/presenters using zoom.
