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!
Minutes
In the third TiTs meeting it was decided to move the entries from the Minutes to the section. Thursday Interactive Talks Minutes
