SWRS has been a premier location for researchers, industry and robot enthusiasts around the South-West to display robotics research and hardware. We will have talks, research poster sessions, lab-tours, industry dialog, exhibitions and demonstrations. The theme of the 2024 Southwest Robotics Symposium is "Robotics for Social Good." This year's lineup of invited speakers will feature leaders in Planning and Learning, Safety, Medical Robotics, Human Robot Systems, and Soft Robotics. This two-day event will include two plenary talks, topic-driven sessions, lab tours, poster sessions, and industry booths.
