Thursday Interactive Talks (TiTs)

Every Thursday around 16.00h, students working: in the Robotics Research Lab, working with the Service-Robots or with the TURTLE's meet to discuss their assignments within 5 minutes:

• what is it that you are doing?
• what problems did you encounter?
• what problems did you solve?
• ...

Your presence at the Thursday Interactive Talks is not mandatory, but can yield a lot of feedback from other perspectives!
