Why this event matters
A selective, discussion-oriented research meeting rather than an expo. It is valuable for deep scientific networking and early-stage ideas in bioinspired robotics, embodied intelligence and locomotion.
Speakers and community
Robot Locomotion in the Wild speaker - program speaker covering field locomotion in challenging environments. | GRC discussion leaders - senior robotics researchers moderating small-group scientific sessions. | Robotics and biology presenters - invited speakers on bioinspired robotics, embodied systems and physical intelligence. | Gordon Research Seminar contributors - early-career researchers connected to the companion robotics seminar.
Venue and setting
Ventura, California
