Today, we are hosting graduate students from the @NSERC_CRSNG CREATE in Healthcare Robotics (HeRo) Program at @UofTRobotics. The students will spend time touring our Command Centre, as well as develop an understanding of our Pharmacy automation and automated guided vehicles.
Thank you to our Day 2 Toronto Robotics Conference panelists, @VarunChandak_ from @AccessToSuccess, @BernGrush from the Urban Robotics Foundation & Charissa Iogna from @cityoftoronto, for a great discussion on the future of micro-utility devices & strategies for moving forward ➡️
Thank you again to our sponsors, @ClaroNav, @MagnaInt and @OTTOMotors for their ongoing support, and everyone who joined us and participated over the last two days. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Thanks for having us yesterday!
After lunch, we heard from @UofTStartup & @UofTHatchery about resources for entrepreneurs & gained insight on launching a robotics start-up from founders Robert Brooks, Chloë Ryan & Pooja Viswanathan. Key topics included founder mental health & leveraging accelerator programs 🦾
what do accessible/inclusive design practitioners have in common with robot researchers? an obsession with edge cases. insightful panel discussion at our #sidewalkrobots panel
Kicking off the 2023 Toronto Robotics Conference w/ our first panel of the day on cybersecurity! Great discussion w/ Neel Dayal from @Rogers & Isaac Straley from @ITSUofT on mitigating threats, adopting frameworks & multi-factor authentication. Panel moderated by @igilitschenski.
And that's a wrap on Day 1 of the 2023 Toronto Robotics Conference 🥳 Looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow for #Robotics Research Day! 🤖📊
Thank you to our sponsors @ClaroNav, @MagnaInt and @OTTOMotors for supporting the 2023 Toronto Robotics Conference and groundbreaking #robotics research at the University of Toronto!
