SUMMARY:Robot Ethics Forum
DESCRIPTION:Room 401 \nSince its inception\, the field of Robotics has been fraught with ethical risk. Moreover\, the same risks that haunted the field at its inception continue to represent prominent challenges today. In this forum\, we will focus on two key areas of ethical concern surrounding robots: their use as tools of surveillance and their impacts on labor. \nTo explore these topics\, the ICRA 2025 Ethics Forum will bring together experts from disparate fields of study to examine the historical antecedents of these concerns\, the modern ways in which these concerns manifest\, the ways these concerns are expected to manifest in the future\, the technical approaches that we (as technologists) might take to address the concerns\, and the social approaches that we (as citizens) might also (or alternatively) pursue to address those same concerns.

SUMMARY:Queer in Robotics: Building a Community and Generating Inclusive Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:The Queer in Robotics event at ICRA aims to build an inclusive community for queer students\, researchers and practitioners. Queer in AI’s demographic survey reveals that most queer scientists in the robotics community do not feel completely welcome in conferences and their work environments\, with the main reasons being a lack of queer community and a lack of role models. Organizations like Queer in AI and Queer in Robotics have worked towards creating inclusive and welcoming environments for queer researchers\, yet the voices of marginalized queer communities—especially transgender\, non-binary\, and queer BIPOC folks—have been neglected in the broader research community. The purpose of Queer in Robotics’s event at ICRA 2025 is to create a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ researchers in robotics to promote their research. We aim to foster connections between queer researchers to facilitate the academic development of the queer research community\, who face unique barriers to both entry and success in robotics research. This workshop will produce a usable set of guidelines for robotics conferences to better include queer researchers in robotics. IEEE’s mission to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity requires the talents and perspectives of people with many disciplinary backgrounds.

SUMMARY:LatinX in AI & Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Room: Room 401 (Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park) \nLaunched in January 2018\, a group of leaders from academia\, industry\, and social impact sectors united to focus on “Creating Opportunity for LatinX in AI.” This initiative aims to elevate LatinX representation in AI and address the biases that permeate machine learning\, ultimately benefiting our communities. As the number of Hispanic and LatinX AI practitioners grows\, it is crucial that we have opportunities to share our work at global AI conferences\, unlocking opportunities for collaboration\, funding\, and career advancement. \nFor ICRA\, our specific goal is to enhance networking opportunities within the Latin American and Hispanic communities and broader community\, particularly in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence\, and to foster greater engagement in these areas. IEEE’s mission to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity requires the talents and perspectives of people with many disciplinary backgrounds.
