We look forward to welcoming you at MRSS 2025! If you're eager to get started, there are some things you can do to make sure you're ready to hit the ground running on day 1.
Bring your brains. We will provide robots and computers to control the hardware. If you have a laptop with a GPU, you will be able to run the code for the summer school yourself. However, we will provide access to computers that you can use for training. The days will consist of talks in the mornings to introduce the material, and the afternoons are hands-on, where you will apply those concepts to the robot hardware.
During the summer school, you will attend various tutorials and have access to a real quadruped robot.
We will provide details on some code you can install prior to the school to prepare soon!
