Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminars provide a unique opportunity for young researchers in all disciplines, from all over the world, to meet and discuss novel developments in rapidly changing scientific and engineering fields. This seminar will be the first Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) dedicated to robotics and will highlight the potential impact of cutting-edge robotics research on medicine and healthcare.

Our aim is to bring together innovative, interdisciplinary thinkers in to share ideas about the most pressing and meaningful problems that robotics researchers will need to overcome in the next decade in order to transform our approach to human health. Building a network of young roboticists who are fluent in cross-cutting research themes will create a foundation for advancing the field of robotics far into the future with profound implications for medical care.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Robotics" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
