DARC, the Drones and Aerial Robotics Conference, is being held October 11-13 in New York. DARC is the first multidisciplinary conference about aerial robotics, with a focus on civilian applications. Organized by the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy, the conference aims to broaden the conversation on drones. As aerial robotics is one of the most potentially transformative technologies in our near future, it’s timely to look at our systems and structures for dealing with this level of potential change. 

DARC opens with a keynote by Vijay Kumar from UPenn and includes speakers like Ryan Calo, Chris Anderson, Missy Cummings, Stephen Gorevan, Buddy Michini, Sergei Lupashin. Unfortunately for all of us, the US federal government shutdown means that speakers from NASA, NOA and other government agencies are unable to participate as planned.

LIVE STREAM only am Friday RECORDINGS will be available later
