The Robotics for Society conference will bring together some of the world's leading researchers in robotics to convene in Vancouver, Canada. Part of an ongoing series of conferences held by the Vancouver Society for Cognitive Systems, this year's conference will focus on the interactions between robotics and the societies in which they are embedded. The program includes invited talks as well as student poster presentations. The small and intimate scale of this conference will provide an inviting setting for researchers from traditionally disparate disciplines to exchange ideas.
