June 29 - July 3
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON!!! I was given the opportunity to go up North and attend the Robotics, Science, and Systems (RSS) Conference. It was great! I learned so many new things, my head was bursting by the end of the trip. I also got the chance to meet and talk to many of the famous people in robotics. The only downside were the dorms (that's to be expected) and the fact that my legs hurt from walking up and down all of the sloped surfaces in Seattle. Seattle is really beautiful and I would love to visit the city again. Moreover, the RSS Conference is something I would love to attend again in the future.
