The division for Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is organising the third edition of the RPL Summer School for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, which is set to take place on the 21th to 26th of June 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The summer school hosts a mix of academic and industrial researchers from around the world and aims to provide a forum that promotes new collaborations. Our school focuses on a diverse range of topics within robotics, perception, and learning, encompassing areas such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Planning, and Decision Making.

The summer school revolves around brainstorming and discussion sessions among the participants, intertwined with keynote speeches and invited talks. The aim is for participants to discover overlaps in their research topics, find novel ideas, and establish new points of collaboration with other researchers in a relaxed setting. By the end of the event, participants will have formed concrete leads for future works.

A preliminary summary of the programme is as follows:

• 6-day event from the 21st to 26th of June 2026
• Keynote speeches, industry talks and panel discussions
• Open ideation and brainstorming sessions
• Student presentations
• Indoor and outdoor ice-breaker activities

The summer school will take place at Happy Tammsvik resort, where participants can enjoy nature, spa, outdoor activities, and more. RPL sponsors the expenses of the summer school participants, including accommodation, meals and refreshments from dinner on 21 June, to midday 26 June, as well as all the materials and activities in the course of the event.
