SUMMARY:Science Communication Crash Course
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:  \nSabine Hauert (University of Bristol and Robohub)\nElla Scallan (Robohub)\nEvan Ackerman (IEEE Spectrum)\nKohava Mendelsohn (IEEE Spectrum) \nInterested in sharing your robotics research with a broader audience? \nEffective science communication is crucial. It bridges the gap between complex robotics concepts and diverse groups\, including policymakers\, business leaders\, and the general public. As a researcher\, honing this skill can not only improve your communication but also broaden your network and amplify the impact of your work. \nIn this concise tutorial\, top science communicators in robotics and AI will guide you on how to present your research clearly and succinctly to non-specialists. You’ll discover how to steer clear of hype\, select appropriate images and videos to showcase your work\, and get started with social media. We’ll conclude with tips from mainstream media on how to reach a wider audience with your story.

SUMMARY:Panel 4 - Publish or Perish: Surviving the Paper Deluge - Is AI the solution? If not\, what is the Solution?
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\nAude Billard\, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) \n\nPanelists/Speakers \nRenaud Detry\, KU Leuven\nGreg Dudek\, McGill University\nNadia Figueroa\, Univ. Pennsylvania\nDongheui Lee\, TUM\nShigeki Sugano\, Waseda University\nKunpeng Yao\, University of Leeds\nHong Zhang\, Southern University of Science and Technology \n  \nDescription:\nAs the robotics community faces an unprecedented acceleration in publication volume\, staying at the forefront of specific sub-fields like Learning from Demonstration (LfD) has become a monumental challenge. This panel\, presented by members of the IEEE RAS Science and Technology Watch Board (STB) Science Monitoring Committee\, explores the findings of a comprehensive one-year longitudinal study designed to navigate this “paper deluge.” \nThe session will dissect the evolving landscape of LfD\, highlighting critical shifts in methodology\, benchmarking\, and cross-domain applications that emerged over the last twelve months. Beyond the technical trends\, the STB will discuss the systemic implications of information overload on research quality and the innovative strategies—from automated synthesis to collaborative “watching”—that can help researchers maintain a clear vision amidst the flood of new data.

SUMMARY:Imperial Night
DESCRIPTION:The Imperial Night on  Wednesday\, June 3\, 19:00-23:00 (exact time to be confirmed) is THE social event of ICRA. Make sure you purchase a ticket that includes the Imperial Night! \nDelegates with the appropriate ticket will be immersed in an Imperial Night! The Hofburg Palace in Vienna (usually not accessible) and the adjacent Spanish Riding School are the venues for this event. Golden and historic rooms (formerly reserved for the Austrian emperors) invite you on a sensory tour\, accompanied by Austrian culinary highlights and artistic delights. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a selfie with the Emperor or the beautiful Empress Sisi. \nPlease note: Tickets are limited to 5\,000. Don’t miss this unique event and secure your spot during ICRA 2026 registration now!\nPre-sale tickets only\, no onsite ticket sale! Your name badge serves as ticket as the Imperial night is coded on it when entitled/paid. \nExplore the venues!\nEvery participant receives a stamp pass upon entry and can collect stamps in some of the around 30 rooms. Among all completed stamp passes 50 monetary prizes will be drawn and distributed on Thursday at the VIECON (congress center). \nDetailed information\nAll participants with a valid ticket for the Imperial Night event will receive detailed event information closer to the event in a separate email. \nDresscode:\nThe setting is imperial. You might dance waltz or polka. At balls we would wear long dresses and smoking which\, of course\, is not required at ICRA. But given this is THE dinner of the year in robotics\, maybe do not dress too leisurely (no ripped jeans\, no shorts). However\, we will welcome you as you are\, means no real dress code is given. \nChildren at the event\nUnfortunately\, children under the age of 3 years are not permitted due to the regulation of the venue. Baby strollers are also not allowed and must be left in the cloakroom. No childcare service via ICRA is offered during the times of the event. For kids being 3 years or older a full companion pass is required as we have a guest number limitation. \n    \n

SUMMARY:Panel 5 - “Robots for All” in a Fragmented World: Competing Global Visions and Shared Futures from Europe\, Asia\, and the United States
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: \nSteve Donswell\, Director Gemini Communicating for Business Ltd \n  \nParticipants/Speakers: \nFrancesco Ferro\, President euRobotics and Founder and CEO of Pal Robotics\nOussama Khatib\, Professor of robotics at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Robotics Center \n\nDescription: \nIn today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape\, AI-powered robotics has emerged as a strategic priority for governments\, industries and societies worldwide. Robotics is no longer viewed solely as a field of scientific and technological progress; it is now a driver to economic competitiveness\, industrial sovereignty and societal transformation. \nUnder ICRA 2026’s central theme “Robots for All”\, this panel will provide a unique global perspective on how robotics is being shaped\, and is shaping\, the world across three major innovation ecosystems: Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. \nEach region has developed distinct approaches\, priorities\, and visions\, influenced by its economic structure\, political context\, cultural values\, and societal expectations. At the same time\, robotics remains a deeply international scientific field.  \nBy exploring specificities\, convergences between these ecosystems\, the panel will highlight the respective strengths\, challenges and strategic priorities and will contribute to mutual understanding and inspiring future collaborations that will help to foster dialogue across continents and shape the future of robotics in the 21st century.
