The Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) community is dedicated to fostering the next generation of robotics scientists and engineers. This program aims to increase participation, especially among students early in their studies and careers, by providing guidance and inspiration for pursuing a future in robotics. We welcome students who are eager to explore the vast opportunities in robotics, whether in research, industry, or entrepreneurship. Through interactive discussions, mentorship, and insights from experts, participants will gain a clearer understanding of the pathways leading to a successful career in robotics.
The Pathways@RSS 2026 program will award fellowships to selected High school, BSc and MSc students to attend RSS, and offer a dedicated program and mentorship, to help support their journey towards a career in robotics. Priority will be given to students who have not previously attended RSS and/or are new to the robotics research community.
To learn more about Pathways@RSS or to apply for the Fellowship Program, please visit the event’s website. We look forward to supporting the next generation of robotics researchers and helping them chart their paths in this exciting field.
