Meeting Room: 404 This workshop explores the potential of Rust programming language in addressing current challenges in robotics software development. Bringing together industry leaders, academics, and open-source contributors, the workshop will cover Rust's value proposition for robotics, its ecosystem, its role in research and education, adoption challenges, and potential in emerging fields. Through presentations, panel […]
Meeting Room: 403 Emerging 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 […]
Meeting Room: 305 The field of robotics has experienced significant growth through the integration of machine learning models, particularly with the rise of foundation models, neuro-symbolic AI, generative models (such as large language models and diffusion models), and other emerging techniques. While these methods have transformed areas like computer vision, natural language processing, and computer […]
Meeting Room: 313 Recent 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: Personal care robots that facilitate humans in […]
Meeting Room: 410 This workshop seeks to bring attention on the vital role of robotic mechanisms in shaping the future of robotic manipulation.
