The Robotics Society (TRS) is a registered Society with members from various academic and research institutes or organizations from India and overseas, and corporate members, all working in the fields of robotics. TRS was formed to have regular meetings and events to bring together the robotics community in India at large. It has successfully organized four international conferences in the form of Advances in Robotics (AIRs) every two years, starting in 2013. It has also organized many more Workshops on Robotics over the years, which have proved to be a good platform for sharing knowledge and networking amongst young researchers, faculty experts and roboticists from research organizations and industry.

In the times of COVID-19 and Lockdown, the academic learning and research has taken a hit. To ensure the robotics research progresses, TRS has planned Online Lecture Series, whose details are below.

Interested students, researchers and faculty members can register for free to attend the Upcoming Online Webinar. Preference would be given to the TRS members and students from the institutes that have TRS Student Chapters.
