Meeting Room: International Ballroom E (Omni Hotel) Robotic surgery is entering an exciting new era where robots are no longer simply mechanical tools under the direct control of a surgeon, but rather fully-fledged cyber-physical systems capable of collaborating with doctors to carry out complex procedures. Within this evolving landscape, unconventional surgical instruments such as lasers, […]

Meeting Room: 314 The Robotics Startup Bootcamp, hosted by MassRobotics, is an immersive, full-day workshop designed to equip early-stage robotics startups — or those considering the commercialization of their research — with the essential knowledge and practical skills necessary to thrive in a competitive and fast-paced market. Whether you're in the early stages of developing […]

Meeting Room: 315 Our workshop aims to facilitate discussion on construction robotics with an emphasis on perception and navigation in cluttered scenes, mapping of as-built environments, and safety-focused robot-worker interactions. This workshop will provide a venue for academics and industry practitioners to connect and create a vision for robotics in construction work and ensure equitable […]

Meeting Room: 312 When 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 […]

Meeting Room: 407 Achieving 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. […]

Meeting Room: 303 Vascular 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 […]

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: 411 In the field, we throw robots into the wild to achieve what seems a simple task, that quickly ends up being arduous. As experts, we continuously loop […]

Meeting Room: 408 Surveying biotic and abiotic factors in the Earth's system is vital for addressing sustainability, climate change, and biodiversity loss. However, collecting comprehensive ecological data at relevant scales […]

Meeting Room: 402 The Long-term Human Motion Prediction (LHMP) workshop, taking place every ICRA in 2019--2024, offers a unique interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss […]

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 […]
