Hello colleagues!
We are planning an informal, in-person gathering sometime June 1-5 (TBD) at ICRA 2026 in Vienna, Austria for current and prospective members of the Quori robotics community. 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).
The gathering at ICRA 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.
Please RSVP to the Google Form HERE https://forms.gle/B4VKQE3tQuf2gkUD8 to express your interest and availability, and we’ll get back to you ASAP with a proposed time and location. You are encouraged to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in Quori.
Additionally, we will also host a virtual meeting shortly after ICRA 2026 for the broader Quori community. At the virtual meeting, we will (1) provide Quori development updates; (2) invite research groups to optionally share a summary of their ICRA presentations; and (3) outline plans for cost, timeline, and distribution of Quori units. We will follow up with more information.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks and we hope to see you at ICRA 2026 and/or at the Quori community virtual meeting!
