Dear Researcher

The MBZ International Robotic Challenge Symposium 2020 aims to bring together international robotics experts to present advanced outcomes on experimental robotics. It is being organized by Khalifa University with support from key Abu Dhabi entities — see the attached Call for Papers for details.

The Symposium will provide a forum where the MBZIRC teams and robotics experts will review the benefits of robotic competitions, and evaluate to what extent such competitions foster robotics research and innovation.

The presentations and discussions will focus on some of the current challenges in robotics and on developing recommendations for future robotics challenges.

A workshop will be held, during which the winners of Challenges 1, 2, and 3 will deliver presentations. Other participating teams will also be invited to present their achievements during preparations for MBZIRC 2020.
