Waterloo RoboHub Symposium: Shaping Public Engagement Strategies for Robotics in Canada

​** This event is part of Waterloo University RoboHub Spring Symposium: https://uwaterloo.ca/robohub/events/waterloo-robohub-spring-symposium-2026 **

​As robotics continues to develop and is integrated in society for the general public's use/interaction, it is important to consider how the Canadian public is effectively engaged and included in how/where/who robotics will impact as it is integrated more into society.

​In this workshop, participants will gather to rethink public engagement strategies to be more inclusive, identify challenges the public may face, and explore ways to improve engagement approaches.

​This session aims to generate actionable ideas and strategies to help public engagement be inclusive, equitable, and transparent as robotics continues to integrate into society.

​Anyone is welcome to attend, civic society, members of the general public, academics, industry and industry associations.
