SUMMARY:Young Professionals Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: International Ballroom E (Omni Hotel)\n\nEmpowering the Next Generation: IEEE Young Professionals Luncheon\n\nJoin us for a dynamic and engaging luncheon designed to empower the next generation of leaders in technology and engineering. This event provides a unique opportunity for IEEE Young Professionals to network with peers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders. Attendees will gain valuable insights into career development\, emerging technologies\, and strategies for professional growth. Enjoy a delicious meal while participating in interactive discussions and activities aimed at fostering innovation and collaboration. Don’t miss this chance to build connections\, share experiences\, and be inspired to take your career to the next level.								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n					From Tool to Threat? Generative AI and the Future of Robotic Research				\n				\n				\n				\n									As generative AI technologies rapidly evolve\, their integration into robotic research has ushered in unprecedented possibilities\, from accelerating simulation environments and optimizing control systems to enabling autonomous decision-making and human-robot interaction. However\, alongside these innovations arise critical concerns around transparency\, reproducibility\, ethical boundaries\, and the potential for misuse. The objective of the event is to discuss both the constructive and controversial roles of generative AI in robotics. Topics of discussion will include methodological integrity\, dataset biases\, synthetic data generation\, algorithmic accountability\, and the implications of AI-authored research. The event aims to have a critical reflection to chart a responsible path forward for integrating generative AI in robotics while safeguarding scientific rigor and societal trust.								\n				\n				\n				\n									SPEAKERS 								\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									Elena De Momi\, Full professor at Politecnico di  MilanoTitle of the presentation: “Gen AI in the medical robotics domain” 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 Read Speaker Bio \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Elena received her MSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2002\, PhD in Bioengineering in 2006\, and she is currently Full Professor in the Electronic Information and Bioengineering Department (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano. She is co-founder of the Neuroengineering and Medical Robotics Laboratory\, in 2008\, being responsible of the Medical Robotics section. IEEE Senior Member\, she is currently Senior Editor of the Int. Journal of Robotics Research\, Editor of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine and Associate Editor of the IEEE Transaction on Robotics and Robotics and Automation Letters and of the IEEE Transaction on Biomedical Engineering.
