Amidst a global pandemic, Yuke Zhu and Joydeep Biswas spearheaded their idea to create a research symposium for academics across the state of Texas. Following the example of established regional conferences TEROS recruited graduate students, Josh Hoffman and Yifeng Zhu, for the symposium committee. The committee chairs designed a robust schedule of speakers and networking opportunities to welcome visitors from across nine academic institutions. After months of planning, 100 in-person attendees, as well as dozens of virtual attendees took part in TEROS 2022.

The Texas Robotics Symposium was held November 3rd and 4th in partnership with Good Systems. With over 24 poster presentations, 22 talks, and 11 robot demonstrations there was plenty for the over 200 attendees to enjoy!

The talks featured topics in all sectors of robotics from a multidisciplinary approach. There were notable talks from guests like Amir Husain from Spark Cognition and Peter Stone, the director of Texas Robotics.
