Robotic operation in space faces a consistent trade-off between building simple and resilient systems to withstand the extreme conditions, and maintaining flexibility in the robot system to keep up with rapidly changing conditions. Soft robotics offers the promise of robotic performance in unstructured environments. This workshop will bring together two fields to discuss challenges and […]

Vascular diseases are leading causes of ischemic heart disease and stroke and lead to significant global mortality. Endovascular interventions, such as neuroendovascular and cardiovascular interventions are a minimally invasive approach […]

The last decade has seen significant progress in the development and use of robots in nuclear environments across fission, fusion, and big science (e.g. CERN). Whilst much of the early application focus was on decommissioning and disaster response in highly radioactive environments, this has shifted significantly to encompass day-to-day operations and maintenance in low-radiation areas. […]

Generating complex robot behavior requires reasoning simultaneously on both discrete, task-related decisions and feasibility of continuous motions. This problem is often referred to as Task And Motion Planning (TAMP). Research into TAMP approaches has proceeded for well over a decade, yielding key results and algorithms. Yet a prerequisite for such approaches is specification of the […]

The rapidly evolving field of cross-domain robotics, particularly amphibious systems, represents a frontier that bridges multiple research communities. This workshop aims to connect researchers studying enabling technologies—such as underwater SLAM and swarm control—with industrial experts developing robotic platforms and scientists utilizing these platforms to study natural environments. By bringing together these diverse groups, we will […]

The workshop "Human-Centric Robotics for Telepresence" aims to explore the impact of telepresence robotics with a focus on enriching user experience and promoting societal well-being. This interdisciplinary event will emphasize the critical role of human factors in shaping robotic applications across industries, healthcare, and beyond. Participants will discuss how both technological and ergonomic insights can […]
