The program featured eight invited talks, a panel discussion, live code demonstrations, and a poster session on why industry teams are adopting Rust for robotics software and what academia can learn from them. The workshop builds on the Rust for Robotics workshop that our lab led at ICRA 2025.</p> <p>Visit the <a href="https://rust-for-robotics.github.io/iros2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workshop website</a> for the program and materials.</p>https://lguanrui.github.io/post/2026-nsf-frr-workshop/Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://lguanrui.github.io/post/2026-nsf-frr-workshop/<p>Prof. Guanrui Li organized the Multi-Robot Autonomy Workshop at the <a href="https://nrifrr-mtg26.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2026 NSF FRR Robotics Annual Meeting</a>, held on September 25 and 26 in Pittsburgh.
