The Robotics Pathways and Careers Speaker Series (RPCSS) invites professionals working in robotics to come talk with current undergraduates about their career path, how a background in robotics has impacted their professional growth, and what they hope to see in students looking to enter the profession.

The 90-minute format of the event will consist of a 30-minute presentation from the invited speaker and up to 40 minutes of moderated Q&A and discussion. Students will be able to participate in person or remotely.
