Panel
The theme of the panel is women shaping the future of robotics. We are interested in hearing the perspectives of pioneer women roboticists, and in gaining insights on how we can best navigate industry and academia as women and non-binary persons. Specifically, we hope to understand how the panelists got to where they are, how they navigated the big choices/ defining moments in their careers, and what support structures they relied on as women in robotics.
Networking Session
After the panel, we will host a networking session with refreshments for undergraduate and graduate students to hear the perspectives of women working on robotics in industry and academia.
