The Centre for Advanced Robotics has just launched a new initiative: the Robot Cafe'.

Open to all Queen Mary Robotics students as well as members of the Electronics Society, the Robot Café provides an opportunity to deepen technical knowledge, experiment with tools and technologies, and connect with like-minded peers in a welcoming environment.

The Robot Cafe' opened on Wednesday 11th Februrary with an interactive session on OpenCV (Open Computer Vision). The session introduced students to the fundamentals of computer vision and practical implementation in Python and received a very positive feedback from the students attending in person and online.

The Robot Café will continue every Wednesday from 3pm to 6pm in Room 0.14, IQ East Court, running until the end of the semester. For more details on the upcoming session see here.
