Hello colleagues!

We will be hosting a virtual/remote Quori Community Meeting on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, 12pm-2pm PT (GMT-7). This meeting is for HRI and general robotics researchers interested in the development status of the Quori robot platform. All are welcome!

Quori is an NSF-funded, not-for-profit, open-everything, modular, social robot platform for the robotics research community (https://quori.org).

At this virtual meeting, we will provide Quori development updates, and outline plans for cost, timeline, and distribution of Quori units. This meeting is also an opportunity to share updates on your own research and to network with other researchers interested in HRI and general robotics.

We will also be discussing how the community can apply for a partially subsidized beta version of the Quori v2 robot!

To attend the meeting, please RSVP to the Google Form HERE https://forms.gle/uXDvsVuoEUpGia9fA, and we will get back to you with a meeting invite.

Separately, to simply indicate your interest in getting a Quori robot in the future, please complete the other Google Form HERE https://forms.gle/hLmcfMoqVeEhJSKu7 (this is a different form than the meeting RSVP form linked above).

You are encouraged to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in Quori.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks and we hope to see you at the Quori virtual community meeting!
