The Northeast Robotics Colloquium (NERC) brings together the roboticists in the northeastern United States and Canada, in an event that is simultaneously a research meeting, networking event, job-fair, and showcase for established and up-and-coming robot companies. Ultimately, we hope to promote the kind of healthy and well-connected robotics community that will be essential in fueling the field's rapid growth in the coming decade.

The Northeast Robotics Colloquium (NERC) brings together the roboticists from academia and industry in the northeastern United States and Canada. The event is simultaneously a research meeting, networking event, and job-fair for students as well as a showcase for established or up-and-coming robot companies. Ultimately, we hope to promote the kind of healthy and well-connected robotics community that will be essential in fueling the field's rapid growth in the coming decade.

The colloquium will feature invited research talks by leading local academics, robotics industry booths and demos, recruitment opportunities, and the opportunity to meet and mix with other roboticists. Academic and industrial research labs will have the opportunity to present their work at a poster session.

The colloquium will feature an extensive poster/demo session intended to foster discussion on the recent developments in robotics from both academia and industry. This is a great opportunity for you to publicize your ongoing work, as well as get feedback.
