​X-Harbour Night | X Square Robot RSS Tech Dinner

​Join X Square Robot for X-Harbour Night — an intimate technical dinner during RSS 2026 in Sydney, bringing together researchers, engineers, PhD students, and builders working across robotics, embodied intelligence, robot learning, VLA models, control, and physical-world AI.

​Set by Sydney Harbour, the evening is designed to be relaxed, thoughtful, and high-signal: dinner, drinks, harbour views, and open conversations with people actively exploring the next stage of robotics.

​Rather than a formal panel or a large networking mixer, X-Harbour Night is a small, curated gathering where guests can meet peers, exchange ideas, and continue the conversations that rarely fit into a conference schedule.

​What to Expect

​• Dinner and drinks by Sydney Harbour
• Curated introductions with researchers and builders
• Open conversations on robotics, embodied AI, VLA, robot learning, control, and foundation models
• Opportunities to connect with the X Square Robot team
• Interactive moments and a lucky draw
• A relaxed evening with good people, thoughtful discussions, and harbour views

​When you RSVP, please briefly share your affiliation, research focus, and the topics or people you would be most interested in connecting with.

​Whether you are building robot foundation models, working on VLA and robot learning, exploring control and manipulation, or thinking about how intelligent systems can better understand and act in the physical world, we would love to meet you in Sydney.

​See you at X-Harbour Night.
