AUVSI New England will be hosting ROBOTICA UAS Summit 2018 on June 7 at The Exchange building in the Seaport District of Boston. Drones and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are a rapidly growing industry in New England and around the world. The New England Chapter of the Association of Unmanned Vehicles International (AUVSI) has assembled an array of regional thought leaders to discuss issues affecting this new UAS ecosystem and industry. The AUVSI New England UAS Summit will look at developments in government, test site initiatives and the future of the entire UAS industry, large and small. Visit RoboticaUAS.org to register and see the full agenda.
ROBOTICA UAS Summit is the second of four ROBOTICA Summits hosted by AUVSI. The Unmanned Vehicle Summit took place in April at Draper. AUVSI will host a Maritime Robotics Summit and Technology Workforce Summit later this year.
