Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) 2020 is being hosted virtually from July 12th - June 16th. We’re excited to share all the work from SAIL and Stanford Robotics that’s being presented! Below you’ll find links to each paper, as well as the authors’ five-minute presentation of their research. Feel free to reach out to the contact authors directly to learn more about what’s happening at Stanford.
In addition to these papers, SAIL students and faculty are involved in organizing several workshops at RSS. We invite you to attend these workshops, where you can hear from amazing speakers, interact, and ask questions! Workshop attendance is completely virtual: we provide information and links to these workshops at the bottom of this post.
