SUMMARY:Structured Learning for Efficient\, Reliable\, and Transparent Robots
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 314 \nRoboticists 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 resources and lack predictability. These categories are often viewed as competing alternatives due to their reciprocal advantages and drawbacks. However\, they can be viewed as two ends of a broad spectrum. \nThis workshop seeks to explore a middle\, structured approach that attempts to combine the benefits from either end of the spectrum. Such structured approaches can produce reliable and transparent behaviors with reduced compute and data requirements by incorporating structures from fields like dynamical systems\, geometry\, and physics. While promising\, structured robot learning faces challenges in complex\, open-world problems. \nThis workshop aims to bring together researchers working on structured learning topics. The goals are to identify advantages and limitations of structured learning\, explore new directions for applying it to general robotic tasks\, and foster collaborations. By bridging the gap between analytical and learning-based methods\, structured learning offers a promising path forward in robotics research.

SUMMARY:3rd Workshop on Multilateral Human-Interaction-Oriented Teleoperation
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 304 \nTeleoperation systems have benefited from their mechanical and technological components\, physical connections between diverse human-machine interfaces\, low-latency communication protocols\, and advanced control strategies. \nHowever\, 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 efficiency. \nConversely\, emphasizing how humans perceive\, engage with\, and adapt to various teleoperated interfaces and scenarios can foster more intuitive\, efficient\, and adaptable teleoperation systems that align closely with human cognitive and sensory capacities. \nThe two focal points converge to construct a paradigm of human-interaction-oriented teleoperation augmentation\, stimulating more adaptability and user-friendliness. This 2nd ICRA workshop on Multilateral Teleoperation will provide a platform to delve into the forefront of teleoperation augmentation by seamlessly merging multi-dimensional aspects of human factors\, robotics\, control\, and embodied AI from the human-interaction-oriented perspective\, such as the multimodal sensory feedback and large models to align closely with human cognitive and sensory capacities. \nTen experts from academia and industry will present the state-of-the-art on topics including: \n\nInteraction modalities\nOperation subjects (single/multiple humans/robots)\nPerformance criteria (e.g.\, user preferences\, mental load\, maneuverability)\nPractical applications and future challenges arising from the interaction-centric perspective.

SUMMARY:Revealing the Bodily Expression of Human Counterparts for Robots Using Dance Theory and AI
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 406 \nHow 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 clearly defining abstract concepts of similarity and symbolic representation of the parts and patterns of movement – in order to identify\, record\, and interpret patterns of human movement on both the micro and macro levels. \nFirst\, we will move together. This will activate an innate ability to imitate each other and\, in doing so\, illuminate the principal components of Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies and the Body\, Effort\, Shape\, Space\, and Time (BESST) System of movement analysis. \nNext\, we will try to write down what we’re doing. A set of symbols for describing elements of the BESST System\, which seem to be particularly perceptually meaningful to human observers\, will be presented so that movement ideas can be notated and\, thus\, translated between bodies. \nA keynote talk frames the material of the tutorial for broader arts-based research in robotics. This workshop is supported by NSF award #2234196.

SUMMARY:Language and Semantics of Task and Motion Planning
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 305 \nGenerating complex robot behavior requires reasoning simultaneously on both discrete\, task-related decisions and feasibility of continuous motions. \nThis problem is often referred to as Task And Motion Planning (TAMP). Research into TAMP approaches has proceeded for well over a decade\, yielding key results and algorithms. \nYet a prerequisite for such approaches is specification of the planning problem; beyond classic issues of knowledge engineering\, varying assumptions on TAMP formulations require varying aspects to the specification\, e.g.\, grasp information\, placements\, and manipulation strategies. \nAddressing such issues of specification\, semantics\, and learning will enhance fair comparison\, progress\, and application in TAMP.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Lab: Robust Planning and Control in Real World Scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: Sidney Marcus Auditorium \nThe integration of robots into our daily lives depends on their ability to operate reliably and safely in complex\, dynamic environments. Despite significant progress\, achieving robust performance under uncertainty remains a major challenge. Real-time robust planning is computationally demanding\, particularly for tasks such as whole-body control of multi-body robots or handling hybrid dynamics in contact-based interactions. \nAn essential component of this challenge is accurately considering the effects of uncertainties on future plans. However\, despite considerable advancements\, efficient uncertainty representation and propagation remain immature for fast\, real-time control of complex robots in general real-world tasks. \nThis workshop aims to address these challenges by bringing together top researchers and practitioners to explore the state of the art in integrated robust planning and control in the presence of uncertainties. We will focus on planning strategies that ensure system functionality despite disturbances and uncertainties\, aligning with the growing trend toward optimization-based predictive control. \nThe workshop will cover a range of methodologies that balance formality and practicality while addressing uncertainties in tasks involving motion\, manipulation\, and interaction. Our goal is to showcase the best our community has to offer in enhancing the practical applicability of robots in uncertain real-world scenarios.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Human Mobility: From Computer Vision-Based Motion Tracking to Wearable Assistive Robot Control
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 316 \nAs wearable robotic devices for human movement assistance and rehabilitation transition into real-world applications\, their ability to autonomously and seamlessly adapt to varying environmental conditions and user needs is crucial. Lower-limb exoskeletons and prostheses\, for example\, must dynamically adjust their assistance profiles to accommodate different motor activities\, such as level-ground walking or stair climbing. Achieving this requires not only recognizing user intentions but also gathering comprehensive information about the surroundings. \nComputer vision offers rich\, direct\, and interpretable data that surpasses non-visual sensors like encoders and inertial measurement units\, making it a promising tool for enhancing context awareness in wearable robots. However\, integrating computer vision into wearable robotic control presents several challenges\, including: \n\nEnsuring the real-time feasibility of vision model outputs\nMaintaining model robustness across diverse mobility contexts and dynamic user movements\nEffectively fusing onboard sensor data with visual information\n\nThis workshop aims to address these challenges by exploring the latest engineering solutions for computer vision-based human motion tracking and control strategies for wearable robotic systems designed to augment human locomotion. By bridging the gap between wearable robotics and computer vision researchers\, as well as fostering collaboration between academia and industry\, we seek to provide a roadmap for developing robust\, adaptable\, and context-aware vision-based control frameworks that can be successfully translated from the lab to real-world applications.

SUMMARY:Advances in Social Robot Navigation: Planning\, HRI\, and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 313 \nRobots navigating through uncontrolled human spaces face many challenges due to the uncertainty of human behavior and the unstructured nature of environmental context and social rules. Social robot navigation combines planning with human-robot interaction and communication strategies to provide acceptable\, context-dependent robot behavior. With recent rapid transformations in AI\, social robot navigation is changing\, and the Advances in Social Robot Navigation workshop explores these innovations in areas including planning\, human-robot interaction\, and beyond. \nThis full-day workshop brings together experts in these fields for invited talks\, panel discussions\, and participant presentations on advances in social robot navigation. The workshop will also host the Arena 4.0 challenge on benchmarking social robot navigation strategies through a set of AI-enabled open-source tools. Building on our successful series of workshops at ICRA’22\, IROS’23\, and RSS’24\, this workshop aims to investigate key aspects that make robot navigation more acceptable\, legible\, and social. This includes motion-task planning techniques\, foundation models\, human robot interaction\, communication strategies\, and human understanding ranging from individual behavior to pedestrian and crowd dynamics. We invite researchers from these fields to submit short papers and participate in our benchmark challenge\, and to join us for a workshop designed to encourage discussion.
