🦾 RRC Robotics Summer School 2025

Fast-paced lectures to familiarize new entrants to the lab with key areas in robotics — perception, navigation, control, and learning.

The summer school is primarily for Honors and Dual Degree students, but is open to all students and researchers interested in robotics — especially those on campus.

Sessions will be conducted by graduate students and faculty from the RRC Lab.
