Anna Gautier
Dear all,
The division for Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology welcomes your application to the second edition of the RPL Summer School, which is set to take place on 9-14 June 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden.
The summer school hosts a mix of academic and industrial researchers from around the world and aims to provide a forum that promotes new collaborations. Our school focuses on a diverse range of topics within robotics, perception, and learning, encompassing areas such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Planning, and Decision Making. We have an exciting list of confirmed keynote speakers, including Hadas Kress-Gazit (Cornell University), Marc Toussaint (TU Berlin), Maya Cakmak (University of Washington), Sam Devlin (Microsoft Research), Viktor Larsson (Lund University) and Nick Pawlowski (Microsoft Research), with more to be announced.
The summer school revolves around brainstorming and discussion sessions amongst the participants, intertwined with keynote speeches and invited talks. The aim of such a programme is for the participants to discover overlaps in their research topics, find novel ideas, and establish new points of collaboration with other researchers throughout the summer school. We hope that by the end of the event participants will have formed concrete leads for future works. A preliminary summary of the programme is as follows:
6-day event from 9 to 14 of June 2024
Keynote speeches and invited talks
Panel discussion
Student presentations and brainstorming sessions
The summer school will take place at Happy Tammsvik resort, where participants can enjoy nature, spa, outdoor activities, and more. RPL arranges for and covers the following expenses of the summer school participants: accommodation, meals and refreshments from dinner on 9 June, to midday 14 June, as well as all the materials and activities in the course of the event.
We hope that you find the described programme interesting, in which case we’d like to ask you to fill out the application form found on our website latest by 29 February 2024, 23:59 AoE.
