Meeting Room: 404 Over the past five years, significant progress has been made in deformable object (DO) manipulation, spanning breakthroughs in representation, simulation, and control, as well as the integration of machine learning and large models for improved perception. Despite these advancements, key challenges persist, particularly in developing a unified framework for DO representation across […]

Meeting Room: 316 As 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 […]

Meeting Room: 408 Autonomous robots must operate in real-time within dynamic environments, requiring robust performance across diverse scales. To achieve this, roboticists are increasingly leveraging heterogeneous deployments across edge and cloud infrastructures, while integrating and co-designing robotics algorithms for various computing hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, MCUs, and even custom accelerator ASICs (e.g., Neuromorphic processors). […]

Meeting Room: 313 Robots 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 […]
