The robotics reading group is intended to give us all a chance to keep up-to-date with current interesting publications in the community. You can choose to present an interesting external paper which you always wanted to read or which you think others in the group should also be aware of. Alternatively, you can also use the reading group to present your own paper to practise a talk prior to a conference presentation.
