Conference on Robots for Science
How Robots will Facilitate Scienctific Discovery

Robots have been widely adopted to facilitate basic scientific research to investigate complex phenomena in several areas including in nature and medicine.
This conference seeks to highlight the use of such robots as platforms to address fundamental scientific challenges. We will discuss several innovative robotic systems that have been employed as tools to address important fundamental questions in a broad range of areas in science and engineering, both in the laboratory environment as well as in the real world.
