Our school focuses on a diverse range of topics within robotics, perception, and learning, encompassing areas such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Planning, and Decision Making. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The summer school revolves around brainstorming and discussion sessions amongst the participants, intertwined with keynote speeches and invited talks. The aim of such a programme is for the participants to discover overlaps in their research topics, find novel ideas, and establish new points of collaboration with other researchers throughout the summer school. We hope that by the end of the event participants will have formed concrete leads for future works. A preliminary summary of the programme is as follows: <ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px;"> <li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;" aria-level="1"> 6-day event from <span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; text-wrap: wrap;">9 to 14 of June 2024 </li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;" aria-level="1"> Keynote speeches and invited talks </li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;" aria-level="1"> Panel discussion </li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;" aria-level="1"> Student presentations and brainstorming sessions </li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;" aria-level="1"> More information on <a href="https://summer-school.rpl.eecs.kth.se/" style="text-decoration-line: none;" id="LPlnk586250"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; text-wrap: wrap;">summer-school.rpl.eecs.kth.se</a> </li></ul> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The summer school will take place at Happy Tammsvik resort, where participants can enjoy nature, spa, outdoor activities, and more.
