**********************************************

Spring 2025 MIT Robotics Seminars are organized by Luca Carlone, Pulkit Agrawal, and Kevin Chen with administrative support from Olga Novak.

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 is a leader in vision-based autonomous navigation (and more!) for drones. Symbotic is redesigning the future of warehouse automation with mobile robots (just a few miles from MIT!). Amazon is building new kinds of GenAI for robotics as they grow towards 1M deployed warehouse robots.

Thanks also to all our students, colleagues, and our DLCs for your support and attendance at these events!
