SUMMARY:Grand Challenges in Robotics for Nuclear Environments: A Call to Action
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 309 \nThe last decade has seen significant progress in the development and use of robots in nuclear environments across fission\, fusion\, and big science (e.g. CERN). Whilst much of the early application focus was on decommissioning and disaster response in highly radioactive environments\, this has shifted significantly to encompass day-to-day operations and maintenance in low-radiation areas. Additionally\, fusion energy presents a potentially game-changing solution to present climate and energy security challenges\, yet has significant outstanding challenges that need solving including those related to robotic maintenance. \nDespite these new opportunities\, there are still barriers to the wider robotics community engaging with nuclear end-users. This workshop is a Call to Action to the robotics community\, presenting a Grand Challenges which act as focal points for fundamental robotics research. These Grand Challenges have been developed by the global nuclear community specifically for the robotics research community to provide direction for the next 5 – 10 years of research. The workshop will also address how to remove barriers with respect to demonstrating research to the nuclear communities to open the application domain to the whole robotics community\, through the use of mechanisms such as digital twins\, demonstration environments and accessing real-world test facilities.

SUMMARY:Handy Moves: Dexterity in Multi-Fingered Hands
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 302 \nMulti-fingered robotic hands hold an immense potential for flexible manipulation in human environments. From using tools like scissors to preparing food\, handling cloth\, and robustly tying shoelaces\, many mundane activities are enabled by – or become more flexible with – additional degrees of freedom\, allowing for in-hand manipulation and dexterous environment interaction. With the ongoing waves of advancement in artificial intelligence\, learning techniques\, robust teleoperation\, the proliferation of affordable tactile sensors\, and the expansion of diverse datasets\, we are closer than ever to overcome major existing challenges and unlock unprecedented levels of dexterity in robotic manipulation.However\, we also acknowledge the current state of research: In practical applications\, multi-fingered hands usually demonstrate a lower grasping and manipulation success rate compared to two-fingered parallel grippers; more robotic datasets and benchmarks focus on grippers than on multi-fingered hands; and grippers already serve a wide range of industrial applications. In light of these challenges\, this workshop is dedicated to exploring a critical question: how can we overcome the challenges of dexterous manipulation and unlock the potential of multi-fingered hands? \nThis workshop intends to answer this question in four key aspects: \n1. Investigating Manipulation Limitations: Understanding the constraints linked to mechanical design and control \n2. Examining Advanced Algorithms: Reviewing state-of-the-art algorithms for dexterous manipulation \n3. Enhancing Dexterity and Adaptability: Exploring new paradigms to improve the dexterity and adaptability of robotic hands \n4. Envisioning the Future: Considering how foundational models can revolutionize dexterous manipulation \nThe objective of this workshop is to foster collaboration among researchers at all career stages with a strong interest in robotics\, artificial intelligence\, control theory\, mechanical design\, and related fields.

SUMMARY:ROBOT-ASSISTED ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 303 \nVascular diseases are leading causes of ischemic heart disease and stroke and lead to significant global mortality. Endovascular interventions\, such as neuroendovascular and cardiovascular interventions are a minimally invasive approach that provides the benefit of faster recovery\, less general anesthesia\, reduced blood loss\, and lower mortality compared to open surgery. This approach now includes advanced procedures like complex aneurysm repair\, stent placement for peripheral artery disease\, valve replacement\, and novel therapy delivery beyond traditional cardiac ablation\, angioplasty\, and stenting. \nDespite its advantages\, endovascular intervention face limitations such as excessive radiation exposure\, lack of 3D mapping and haptic feedback. Robotically steerable catheter and guidewire technologies have emerged as a promising solution\, enhancing precision\, stability\, reducing radiation doses\, and improving access to complex anatomies. \nThe workshop aims to explore clinical opportunities\, technical requirements\, and regulatory challenges for robot-assisted endovascular interventions. It seeks to unite researchers\, engineers\, and clinicians from academia and industry to discuss and identify new applications and barriers in this field. The workshop’s goal is to foster collaboration between academia and industry to address and overcome the technical\, clinical\, regulatory\, and translational challenges for practical clinical implementation of robotic endovascular interventions.

SUMMARY:Thermal Infrared in Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 407 \nAchieving robust autonomy in robotics is challenged by sensor data reliability\, especially in extreme environments. Conventional sensors like RGB cameras fail in low-visibility conditions (e.g.\, smoke\, fog\, low light)\, while active sensors such as Radar and Lidar struggle with reflective medium and particle obscurants and often lack dense information at close range. Thermal infrared cameras offer advantages for robust sensing: they work well in low light\, provide high-resolution imaging\, and are crucial for search and rescue and hazard detection. However\, they face challenges\, such as noise from flat field correction\, ambiguous tone-mapping\, difficult calibration\, and temperature drifts. With the advent of compact\, affordable thermal cameras\, interest in thermal imaging for robotics is growing beyond military and surveillance usage. \nThis workshop aims to advance the emerging field by providing a platform for sharing developments in localization\, mapping\, navigation\, segmentation\, detection\, and other methods tailored for thermal infrared imagery. We will invite leading researchers and experts to share insights and breakthroughs while encouraging contributions from newcomers and diverse backgrounds. Attendees will engage in discussions\, network with experts\, and explore future directions\, making it invaluable for advancing thermal imaging in robotics.

SUMMARY:2nd Unconventional Robots: Rethinking Robotic Systems Beyond Convention
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 312 \nWhen you think about a robot\, what comes to mind? A humanoid\, quadruped\, quadcopter\, or a multi-degree of freedom robot arm? These standard robot morphologies have become widely commercialized and are often our go-to general purpose systems\, benefiting from well-established and accessible tools for working with these robots. However\, when a task falls outside of the operational capabilities of these robots\, this gives us an opportunity to rethink the design of a robot\, making it more unconventional. \nAn unconventional robot design can offer the potential for enhanced capabilities\, improved performance\, and operation in complex and unstructured environments. These designs include exploratory robots for space and Earth sciences\, modular robots for industrial applications and transportation\, and soft robots for medical uses and human interaction. However\, unconventional robots are often underactuated or characterized by high degrees of freedom\, necessitating the development of novel mechanisms\, models\, and control strategies. \nBuilding on our first unconventional robots workshop at ICRA 2024\, this workshop aims to provide a platform to discuss several key questions: \n\nHow can we create systematic approaches for designing\, manufacturing\, and modeling complex robotic systems?\nHow can embodied intelligence be integrated into robot design and control?\nWhat strategies can advance unconventional designs from laboratory settings to real-world applications?\nHow can we bridge the gap between modeling and controlling unconventional robots in simulation and achieving reliable performance in real-world systems?\nHow will specialized systems and standardized robots coexist in the future?\n\nWe aim to bring together researchers and engineers from diverse fields—including mechanism design\, modeling and simulation\, and robotic sensing and control—to share their insights and experiences in developing and advancing unconventional robots.

SUMMARY:How do Robots Care? Innovative Strategies and Interfaces for Physically Assistive Robots in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 313 \nRecent advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled assistive robots to realize many activities alongside and with humans in shared environments. This physical proximity has introduced novel\, complex tasks for the robotics community to address\, which can be clustered into three main areas: \n\nPersonal care robots that facilitate humans in physical activities of daily living\,\nService robots that can perform manipulation tasks for and with humans\, and\nPhysical support robots that provide partial body weight support and assist and guide the humans during stance\, walking\, and other activities.\n\nHowever\, despite their potential to transform healthcare and beneficial societal impact\, such technologies still need to face several unresolved challenges to become part of our everyday lives. This workshop will explore the following emerging user-centric tools that are essential for overcoming such challenges: \n\nHuman Modeling and Assessment\, definition of models for online and non-invasive monitoring of the human physical and cognitive state and impairments;\nAssistive Hardware\, design of versatile and reconfigurable interfaces and devices that exploit (do not avoid) physical contact for seamless interaction;\nPersonalized learning and interaction\, developing techniques for learning and adapting robot behavior to individual intentions\, actions\, and preferences.\n\nThe focus will be on individualized models\, adaptive control and planning algorithms\, customizable designs and robotic interfaces\, and human-informed online learning and optimization techniques. A prominent theme throughout the workshop is interdisciplinary collaboration\, connecting the expertise of academics\, occupational experts\, and industry partners. We aim to provide a platform for fruitful discussion\, inspiring new perspectives and pathways for the community to successfully design and integrate individualized service\, care\, and physical assistive robots into society.

SUMMARY:Robot Safety Under Uncertainty from Intangible Specifications
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 405 \nRobot and automation systems are expected to carry out increasingly sophisticated tasks in complex environments. This places stringent expectations on their autonomy stack to enforce operational constraints and safety guarantees. Safe control synthesis methods\, including model predictive control\, reachability analysis\, and control barrier functions\, commonly rely on explicit mathematical definitions of safety constraints with known system and environment models. Nevertheless\, many current applications incorporate perception uncertainty or semantic concepts in the task specifications\, and safety requirements may be specified implicitly\, abstractly\, or incompletely. \nThis workshop aims to investigate the concept and formulation of such “intangible” safety constraints. These constraints may not be specified explicitly as mathematical expressions but described through natural language\, semantic concepts\, observed by sensor data anomalies\, or inferred from demonstrations and prior experience. The techniques required to either identify such safety constraints or to propagate uncertainty through them are largely unexplored. \nOur workshop is interested in various facets of these techniques including: identification of safety constraints from demonstration\, compatibility of learned constraints and control design methodology\, interaction with humans or vision-language models for safety information\, and associated uncertainty quantification. The workshop invites experts in the field to discuss the formulation\, optimization\, and guarantees with intangible safety constraints.

SUMMARY:State of the Art in Lower-Limb Exoskeletons: Exploring Specificity vs. Generalizability Across Users and Activities
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Room: 403 \nEmerging robotic exoskeletons have the potential to enhance performance of non-disabled users\, restore normative leg biomechanics to impaired users\, or rehabilitate limb function after neurological disorders. However\, these devices have not been widely adopted due to their rigidity\, bulkiness\, acoustic noise\, cost\, battery life\, and/or non-intuitive control. While parallel industries are providing powerful\, lightweight\, and inexpensive motors with long-lasting batteries\, the exoskeleton research community is now largely focused on mechanical design\, interface\, and control challenges. \nOne body of work has shown that human walking effort can be reduced by customizing the assistance torque pattern to the user for a given activity through human-in-the-loop optimization. While some results have extended outside the lab\, it is unclear how to quickly generalize these methods across many users and activities. Another body of work has shown that task-agnostic control methods can handle a continuous range of activities without user-specific calibration\, for example\, predicting human joint torques across activities to reduce muscle effort or metabolic cost. \nHowever\, it is unclear how these versatile control methods can be personalized for optimal assistance\, especially for clinical patients. This workshop will explore specificity vs. generalizability across users and activities with the goal of finding benefits from both perspectives. This theme will be discussed as it relates to both control and device hardware optimization.
