Roboticists,

Join us for the last official seminar of the 2023/24 academic year.  To celebrate the end of the year, we’re going to have six, yes six, short presentations of work recently published at either AAMAS or ICRA by members of the Robotics Program.  Coffee and cake, of course.  Come and support your colleagues and see some of the awesome work that’s going on around you.

There will be one more bonus seminar this term, next Wedesday 6/12, likely in the afternoon, when Tesca Fitzgerald from Yale will be in town.  If you know of a hard conflict on Wednesday, let me know and we’ll try to work around it.

cheers

-- Bill
