THANK YOU!


From everyone at Bristol Robotics Laboratory, we want to say a huge "Thank you!" to everyone who participated in our inaugural Virtual Conference on 30th June.

An amazing 636 people signed up for the event from over twenty different countries, from as far away as Canada and Australia. Of course, being a virtual event we are always only as far as a few clicks on your keyboard!


If you would like to relive the conference, or tune in for the first time to see what you missed, every talk is now available on our dedicated BRL Events YouTube Channel. Understandably, with over 50 talks to choose from you may need some help discovering which session to tune in to. Our dedicated BRL Conference Navigator webpage details every talk and provides direct links to replay each session. If you would like to get in touch with our Speakers / Outstanding robotics researchers, then feel free to click the email address and send them a direct message.


Oh, and if you still aren't satisfied with all of our content from the conference and want even more, our new BRL Virtual Tour tool is now up and running.


Thanks again for all your support and we hope to see you again soon!
