Hello colleagues!
The Quori robot project team is planning an informal, in-person gathering at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh for current and prospective members of the Quori robotics community. This event is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 28th, 11am ET at the Liberty Center, 1001 Liberty Avenue, 5th Floor. All are welcome!
Quori is an NSF-funded, multi-award-winning, not-for-profit, open-everything, modular, social robot platform for the robotics research community (https://quori.org).
The gathering at IROS will serve as an opportunity to meet with colleagues interested in the Quori robot platform and to network with other researchers interested in human-robot interaction and general robotics.
To access the meeting venue, you must register! Names of attendees will be provided to Liberty Center staff in charge of access. Please RSVP to the Google Form HERE https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qU8YGFWrBAHgwlu1PQzAi8bdqi8pEFKjFt9RruAq8f0/ to express your interest in attending. You are encouraged to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in Quori.
Additionally, our next Quori Community Virtual Meeting will take place October 21st at 12pm PT. At the virtual meeting, we will provide Quori development updates and invite research groups to optionally share updates on their work. Stay tuned for an announcement with more information.
Finally, if you want to get your own Quori robot, please express your interest (noncommittal) via the Google Form HERE https://forms.gle/hLmcfMoqVeEhJSKu7.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks and we hope to see you at IROS 2026 and/or at the Quori community virtual meeting!
