Poster Sessions

The RobotoKAUST Conference will host a public event, the RobotoKAUST Gala Event, on May 9, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. in Building 3, Lobby area (desert side), Level 2. 

The Gala Event will include:

  • A Poster Session
  • A TKS-KG Projects Exhibition
  • Short Story, Comics & Video Contest winners announcement
     

For the Short Story, Video, and Comics Contest organized during #RobotoKAUST 2023, following last year’s format, the best works will be showcased during the RobotoKAUST Exhibit. The winners will be announced during the RobotoKAUST Gala Event. The winning stories will be turned into video animations. The organizers plan to publish a book with all the entries from the contest.

Scientific Posters will be displayed digitally during the #RobotoKAUST Gala Event allowing discussion among poster presenters and interested attendees. Here are the posters which are going to be presented (in no particular order):
