Talk about three emotive topics! Having had the enjoyment of deep discussions and debates about them with many in the robotics community over the last couple of years, including many of the debaters, I am very much looking forward to what we have in store! There'll also be plenty of opportunity for input from the community via Slido.

We'll be in Room G411 at the Pacific Convention Plaza Yokohama, plus there will be live streaming here: https://lnkd.in/duRgJJwv
Organizers: Jonathan Kelly, Karthik Dantu, Tobias Fischer, Adam Hines, myself Michael Milford and kartikeya singh.
====================
It will be a bit far to meet you all in Japan!
This is a live-streaming session for you to attend :)
I'm adding a session, "for a debate after the debate", more information coming up soon! I'm thinking Friday early morning to continue the debate :)
