The Oxford Summit on Robotics aims to bring together - in an informal way - a small number of internationally-leading researchers in robotics and related areas to discuss and tackle strategic challenges in robotics research. It aims to acknowledge that robotics research is inherently inter-disciplinary and therefore welcomes the involvement of a small contingent of researchers looking at behavioural ecology and biological perception, as well researchers from a cross-section of robotics disciplines.

The Oxford Summit on Robotics forms this year’s Mahfouz Forum at Pembroke College. The Mahfouz Forum, which has a focus on subjects which cross disciplines, is run by Fellows of Pembroke and seeks to engage leading international academics working on a different theme each year, on a global and national basis. The Mahfouz Forum is generously funded by a benefaction from HE Mahfouz bin Mahfouz, Foundation Fellow of Pembroke College.
