RISS RoboLaunch: Come Explore Robotics!

Ever wondered what robotics is? Come explore the world of robotics with RoboLaunch. The initiative offers a series of talks and conversations with robotics and AI pioneers, through which you can explore robotics and discover how research/education can be fun.

The 2025 RoboLaunch Summer Edition emphasizes career opportunities and pathways in robotics and AI. During this series, participants will have the chance to hear from the CEO and founder of Atlas Robotics, learn from RISS alumni who are contributing to advanced AI developments with the Auton Lab’s MOMENT project—each pursuing diverse career paths across academia and industry in the United States and Europe—and explore exciting opportunities at U.S. National Laboratories.

Join us for the Fall 2025 RoboLaunch Edition, which will include a mix of research talks and highlights from our highly successful graduate school application coaching program.
