You know all know what this message is going to say: fourth fifth time lucky! Remember: from next week we'll be meeting earlier, at 12:30. Last week's message is below: This Wednesday at 3pm in CB11.09.215, Kosta and Felix will be giving a recap of their recent trip to ICRA! Kosta has provided the following information about accessing the proceedings: I uploaded the proceedings to our teams: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/rvEVC71R2NTZXX8KZI8fZioOpmq?domain=s…<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/rvEVC71R2NTZXX8KZI8fZioOpmq?domain=s…> They must have used the same broken software to compile the index pdf documents as for IROS which means that none of the links to the papers work and it doesn't even display the paper number anywhere. To solve this, I created an html based index with working links. There are two versions of it: index.html which works if you copy all the files locally and index_teamslinks.html which has the links so they work online on teams. I guess the best way to browse this is to use the pdf documents (in the data folder) to see what is in which session and then look up the paper title in the html file to open it. As in previous years, I've created a slideshow for people to add "one-slide summaries" of any papers they think are interesting. It's available here: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/iLuYC81V0PTY5520YI1hKiyKgWE?domain=d…<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/iLuYC81V0PTY5520YI1hKiyKgWE?domain=d…> The next presenters after this will be: - 30 July: James - 06 August: Ed See you all there! -- Ed Bray (he/him/his) Postdoctoral Research Fellow Robotics Institute School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology University of Technology Sydney UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER: This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.

You know all know what this message is going to say: fourth time lucky! BUT! Update: A few weeks ago I asked when people would be available to reschedule CDMRG during the next teaching semester. The overwhelming response was that only another time on Wednesday would work. So we can agree on a precise time this week, but I'll throw the initial suggestion of Wednesdays 12:30 - 14:30 out there to begin with to think about. Last week's message is below: This Wednesday at 3pm in CB11.09.215, Kosta and Felix will be giving a recap of their recent trip to ICRA!

Hi everyone, I've checked with most of you about your plans regarding CDMRG today given the weather / transport situation. Most people aren't able to make it in, so we'll postpone the ICRA recap again. We won't meet next week as several of us are in Melbourne. We'll reconvene in two weeks, on 16 July. Stay dry!
