About us

The main objective of the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Summer School 2021 is to disseminate robotic knowledge and experimentation to the technological community. Three days with an intensive agenda in current main robotic issues will be presented: Deep learning perception on Robotics, Human Robot Interaction and robot navigation and Assistive Robotics. The Summer School will include experimentation sessions.
