Amii was proud to be a sponsor of the 2025 Northwest Robotics Symposium (NWRS), held for the first time in Canada this year at Simon Fraser University's downtown Vancouver campus.

This year's event brought together leading robotics-lab researchers from SFU, the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, and the University of Alberta.

The event was organized by Amii Research Fellow and Canada CIFAR AI Chair Mo Chen, along with his colleagues at SFU.

From the organizer:

NWRS began in 2022 to bring together robotics labs in the Pacific Northwest, with previous editions held at the University of Washington and Oregon State University. This free, all-day event brings together students, postdocs, industry researchers, and faculty working in robotics in the greater Northwest area. This year, we will have a full day of talks, posters and networking in the downtown Vancouver campus of Simon Fraser University. It will be the first time the symposium is hosted in Canada.
