GWiRC: 
Some of the Friday lunches with the speakers will be held in conjunction with the Graduate Women in Robotics Community (GWiRC), an awesome association that organizes a variety of events at MIT and beyond.

Sponsors: 
A big shoutout to our sponsors, who are making this semester’s robotics seminars possible! We are pleased to have three amazing sponsors supporting the MIT Robotics Seminars this semester: Skydio, Symbotic, and Amazon. Skydio (https://www.skydio.com/) is a leader in vision-based autonomous navigation (and more!) for drones. Symbotic (https://www.symbotic.com/) is redesigning the future of warehouse automation with mobile robots (just a few miles from MIT!). Amazon (https://www.amazon.science/research-areas/robotics) is building new kinds of GenAI for robotics as they grow towards 1M deployed warehouse robots.

Admins: 
A big THANK YOU to our amazing Robotics Seminars admin, Vendi Pavic, who is handling the logistics of the seminars and making sure they run smoothly.
