Delft Summer School on Robotics Software Eng. Opens Late Registration
Hands-on with MIRTE robot, ROS2, and cognitive systems for pros.
The 3rd Summer School on Systems & Software Engineering for Robotics, hosted by TU Delft, has opened late registrations for its June 29–July 3, 2026 session. This intensive five-day program targets professionals and researchers looking to deepen their expertise in robotics software and systems engineering. The curriculum blends theory with hands-on practice, covering five core topics: human-robot interaction in real-world (e.g., healthcare, education), systems engineering and architecting (with examples from the CoreSense project), robot development using ROS 2 (navigation, integration), cognitive robot architectures, and testing/validation for reliability.
A standout feature is the practical group work using the MIRTE Master robot — a mobile manipulator. Each small team gets its own robot to apply concepts in interactive exercises throughout the week. The school aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world deployment, fostering collaboration among peers and leading practitioners. Late registration is now open; contact the organizing committee at school-robot-software-me@tudelft.nl for details.
- Late registration open for 3rd edition in Delft, Netherlands (June 29–July 3, 2026).
- Topics include HRI, systems architecting, ROS 2, cognitive robots, and testing/validation.
- Hands-on team projects with the MIRTE Master robot (mobile manipulator).
Why It Matters
