SUMMARY:Black in Robotics and Blacks in Technology Social
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 310 \nPlease join Black in Robotics (BiR) https://blackinrobotics.org/ and Blacks in Technology (BiT) https://blacksintechnology.org/ for a networking social hour. There will be a short presentation on the mission of these organizations\, ongoing activities\, and how to become involved. Following the presentation we will have networking with refreshments. IEEE’s mission to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity requires the talents and perspectives of people with many disciplinary backgrounds. \nRegistration link (just to get an estimated number of participants; no payment):  https://forms.gle/BF267UPU7qoVREUR7

SUMMARY:LatinX in AI & Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 401 \nLaunched in January 2018\, a group of leaders from academia\, industry\, and social impact sectors united to focus on “Creating Opportunity for LatinX in AI.” This initiative aims to elevate LatinX representation in AI and address the biases that permeate machine learning\, ultimately benefiting our communities. As the number of Hispanic and LatinX AI practitioners grows\, it is crucial that we have opportunities to share our work at global AI conferences\, unlocking opportunities for collaboration\, funding\, and career advancement. \nFor ICRA\, our specific goal is to enhance networking opportunities within the Latin American and Hispanic communities and broader community\, particularly in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence\, and to foster greater engagement in these areas. 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:Meeting Room: 301 \nHumans 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:Pulling the Strings on Creative Collaborations: A Retrospective on Puppetry\, Choreography\, and Control
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 401 \nThis workshop provides a critical retrospective and forward-looking discussion about an NSF-funded project that studied the science and engineering behind creating and controlling robotic puppets. The project explored multiple dimensions of the challenge\, such as the sequencing and composition of controllers and the integration of meaning with kinematically and dynamically distinct systems. This effort required a diverse team of researchers\, artists\, and industry professionals. \nParticipants will hear from the principal investigators and supporting researchers about the project’s outcomes\, new research directions\, and spin-offs that emerged from this unconventional approach. \nA highlight of the workshop will be a fun\, hands-on puppetry tutorial led by a professional puppeteer. This session will demonstrate how puppeteers design movement\, develop scores for puppetry plays\, and create meaningful performances using both scripted and improvisatory movements. \nThe workshop will also feature an interactive panel on current research collaborations at robotics labs that leverage the arts and interdisciplinary approaches across various use cases\, including music\, dance\, architecture\, and healthcare. \nStudent researchers will have the opportunity to present their work\, share ideas\, and network with like-minded researchers. The day will conclude with a summative breakout session\, where participants will synthesize the discussions and insights shared throughout the event. \nThis workshop is specifically targeted at interdisciplinary robotics researchers who are interested in collaborating with partners from the arts\, fostering connections that bridge technology and creativity.

SUMMARY:Block by Block: Collaborative Strategies for Multi-agent Robotic Construction
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 315 \nIn this workshop\, we explore the unique challenges and opportunities that multi-agent systems (MAS) present for push manipulation of loose materials for site preparation and prefabricated assembly. Specifically\, this workshop focuses on the planning and coordination of MAS for both push manipulation and modular assembly tasks\, with an emphasis on decentralized approaches. \nPush Manipulation: Many essential site preparation tasks are accessible to robots with general-purpose pushing tools. These tasks—such as mapping the material on the ground\, leveling the ground\, clearing debris\, and shaping loose materials like soil and gravel—are crucial before building can begin. This workshop will address the organization and coordination of MAS to carry out these tasks; by leveraging precise coordinated pushing actions\, robots will create a solid foundation for the construction process. \nModular construction: Modular construction\, where prefabricated units are assembled into larger structures\, offers a flexible\, scalable approach ideal for robotic systems. Coordinating a team of heterogeneous robots to efficiently execute these tasks requires sophisticated planning and scheduling algorithms. The workshop will address sequencing module placements and ensure seamless agent coordination\, utilizing bioinspired techniques and optimization strategies to enhance performance and scalability. \nThis workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to advance the modular construction and site preparation field\, focusing on the latest state-of-the-art research. We emphasize the importance of formulating clear and impactful research questions\, as better questions lead to better research outcomes.
