Virtual EASE & REMARO Fall School
8th - 12th November 2021
The EASE & REMARO Fall School is the place to get into the exciting field of cognition-enabled everyday activity and underwater robotics. Our Fall school gives doctoral students the chance to learn more about AI, robotics and the challenging field of robot manipulation in everyday and underwater environments. In lectures and hands-on courses, the Fall School students can exchange thoughts and ideas with our invited speakers and experts from the collaborative research center EASE and the REMARO network.
Venue
Due to the uncertainties revolving around the COVID-19 virus, the lectures will be conducted online.
All lectures and forums will be conducted via the HyHyve online event and networking platform. To access the platform kindly register in advance. The registration form is at the bottom of the page.
Courses
Our EASE & REMARO Fall School 2021 starts on November 8th and ends on November 12th.
Each day will start with a lecture given by experienced researchers, invited speakers and industrial partners.
This year the EASE Fall School is co-hosted by the REMARO network and offers the first REMARO training workshops in joint and separate sessions.
Fee
As application for the EASE Fall School 2021 we are asking for a short letter of motivation. The Submission Deadline is November 4th, 2021.
