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:Nonverbal Cues for Human-Robot Cooperative Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Humans can perceive social cues and the interaction context of another human to infer internal states including cognitive and emotional states\, empathy\, and intention. This unique ability to infer internal states leads to effective social interaction between humans. Such unique ability is desirable for intelligent systems like robots\, virtual agents\, and human-machine interfaces to collaborate and interact seamlessly with humans in the era of Industry 5.0\, where intelligent systems must work alongside humans to perform a variety of tasks anywhere at home\, factories\, offices\, transit\, etc. \nThe underlying technologies to achieve efficient and intelligent collaboration between humans and ubiquitous intelligent systems can be realized by cooperative intelligence\, spanning interdisciplinary studies between robotics\, AI\, human-robot and -computer interaction\, computer vision\, cognitive science\, etc. \nThis workshop is dedicated to discussing computational methods for sensing and recognition of nonverbal cues and internal states in the wild to realize cooperative intelligence between humans and intelligent systems. Specifically\, we are interested in cognition-aware computing by integrating environmental contexts and multi-modal nonverbal social cues not limited to gaze interaction\, body language\, and para language. \nMore importantly\, we extend multi-modal human behavior research to infer the internal states of humans and to generate empathetic interactions between humans and intelligent systems. We gather researchers from different expertise\, yet have the common goal\, motivation\, and resolve to explore and tackle this delicate issue considering the practicality of industrial applications. We are calling for papers to discuss novel methods to realize human-robot cooperative intelligence by sensing and understanding humans’ behavior\, internal states\, and to generate empathetic interactions.

SUMMARY:Novel Approaches for Precision Agriculture and Forestry with Autonomous Robots
DESCRIPTION:Precision agriculture techniques are essential for increasing crop yields while reducing environmental impact\, particularly in the face of climate change effects. Commercial robotic solutions are actively being deployed to assist in agricultural tasks. However\, autonomous robots are far from reaching their full potential in this domain. Fully autonomous robots can significantly impact precision agriculture by providing mapping\, sensing\, or manipulation capabilities for crops and forests\, enabling fruit counting\, tree diameter estimation\, crop disease detection\, carbon sequestration quantification\, smart spraying\, and biomass estimation\, among others. \nThis workshop bridges industry and academia to discuss how to close the gap towards autonomous robots in agricultural and field robotics settings. Key topics include innovative forestry techniques for tree diameter and biomass estimation\, datasets\, semantic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)\, motion planning and navigation in cluttered environments\, crop inspections\, and applications. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research and developments at the intersection of precision agriculture and robotics from academic and industrial perspectives\, as well as the open challenges in the field and novel approaches to tackling them. \nThis workshop will also provide a forum for researchers beyond the agricultural robotics community to learn about this field\, encouraging them to apply their expertise in this challenging domain.
