Dear RoboCuppers,
Congratulations to everyone on what by all appearances was a very successful set of competitions!
While the competitions have completed, Monday brings the RoboCup Symposium, our community's main scientific event.
Please tune in on the Underline mainstage starting at 9am UTC for a fun and interesting program. Each paper will be presented with a short 5-minute video. There will be time to talk with the authors and ask questions afterwards at the interactive sessions in Gather Town. You can browse the posters and videos in Gather Town at your convenience any time.
At 11am UTC, there will be a panel on building a research career in RoboCup with representatives from different stages of their careers.
Between noon and 2pm UTC, there will be the RoboCup Junior awards ceremony (noon), the Handover ceremony for everyone with a preview of RoboCup 2022 (12:45), and the RoboCup Major awards ceremony (1:15). All participants are strongly encouraged to attend - whether or not you won an award!
Immediately following, we will have our final keynote speech, by Stefanie Tellex: "Towards Complex Language in Partially Observed Environments."
At the end of the day, there will be a panel reflecting back on 25 years of RoboCup.
I look forward to seeing you all there!
Best, Peter Stone President, RoboCup Federation
