In the past decade, research into medical robotics has surged, with thousands of academic papers published each year, and the field gaining ever-increasing attention. Despite this growing ubiquity in academic […]
Medical imaging plays a vital role in modern clinical practice, providing valuable information to physicians for diagnosis, image-guided surgeries, and more. Due to the high precision and reproducibility of robotic […]
This is the 6th edition of the ViTac workshop at the ICRA conferences, following successful workshops at ICRA 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024. This year’s workshop will also coincide […]
With robots being increasingly deployed in complex, dynamic environments, their ability to sense, plan, and act autonomously with intelligence is crucial for ensuring both agility and robustness. While computational intelligence […]
In recent years, robot learning has made significant progress, with advances in general manipulation capabilities. Solutions using foundation models and vast collections of human demonstrations have shown strong generalization. Additionally, […]
This workshop, organized by the IEEE Working Group on Reproducibility in Soft Robotics, focuses on engaging the community to discuss reproducibility issues within the field. Soft robotics often involves the development of new materials, designs, and manufacturing methods, which can lead to challenges in reproducing results. These challenges can result in "reinvention of the wheel," […]
This workshop focuses on the safety implications of using vision-language foundation models (VLMs) in robotics, which are increasingly employed in systems like mobile manipulators and autonomous cars. VLMs, pre-trained on internet-scale data, offer the potential to enhance robots' understanding of complex environments, human feedback, and action planning. However, as robots become more integrated into safety-critical […]
The Workshop on Athletic Robots and Dynamic Motor Skills (RoboLetics 2.0) aims to explore the advancement of athletic and agile robots, which are pushing the boundaries of next-generation robotics with their dynamic motor skills, agility, autonomy, and precision. These robots serve as valuable platforms for advancing technology in environments requiring rapid adaptation and high performance. […]
Roboticists have made significant strides in the last decade, enabling complex robot behaviors across diverse domains. Dominant approaches to robot intelligence typically fall into two categories. First, analytical methods offer reliability and robustness but require expertise and do not generalize beyond pre-specified scope. Second, learning-based approaches enable complex behavior without explicit design but demand significant […]
Teleoperation systems have benefited from their mechanical and technological components, physical connections between diverse human-machine interfaces, low-latency communication protocols, and advanced control strategies. However, this perspective often overlooks the nuanced aspects of human interaction and cognitive engagement in remote operation scenarios. This oversight can lead to suboptimal user experiences, increased cognitive load, and reduced operational […]
How do we make a machine that indicates changes to its internal state, e.g., goals, attitude, or even emotion, through changes in movement profiles? That is, how do we build a machine that is fluent in body-language? This workshop will pose a possible direction toward such ends that leverages movement notation as a source for […]
