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:Harnessing Learning\, Data\, Foundation Models and Open Source: How African Scientists are Advancing Robotics Research
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Wednesday\, May 21st for a forum showcasing robotics research and innovations in industry\, agriculture\, and education in Africa\, led by Africans and their partners. The event will feature keynote presentations from leading experts in the field\, along with lightning talks by authors presenting their research at ICRA. \nThis year’s focus will be on advancements in machine learning and efforts to foster collaboration and accelerate development by making code available openly. Our goal is to highlight the groundbreaking and innovative work taking place across the Continent\, as well as to foster knowledge exchange and networking opportunities for the scientific community in Africa and globally.
