To begin the fall semester with a lot of enthusiasm and opportunities to learn more about the many areas of robotics research, IRIM will host a full day symposium on Wednesday, August 21.

Presentations will be held in 1116 E&W and a poster session will be located in the Klaus Atrium.

Please RSVP to attend no later than Sunday, August 18.
