TC Virtual Poster Session and Networking Event 2023
Overview
Technical Committee on Model-Based Optimization for Robotics will hold a virtual poster session and networking event on July 11th, 2023 (9:00-11:30 AM EDT, 3:00-5:30 PM CEST, July 10th 10:00 PM - 12:30 AM JST). We will kick off the event with a short welcome and then hold poster sessions on spatial.chat. Posters covering recent conferences and journals, and/or other work in progress will be presented.
There will be a best poster award valued at $250 (procedures to be explained during the event).
