IEEE Worldwide Convention on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) has given many alternatives through the years for researchers, industries, college students and the fans to community and collaborate. In a similar way, this 12 months in 2022, there have been nice variety of alternatives to contain and have interaction as nicely together with networking occasions.
Per week earlier than the convention, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Girls in Engineering (RAS WiE) organized a free digital occasion for the fans from the robotics analysis subject to study and talk about the points of Changing into a Plenary/Keynote Speaker in an Worldwide Robotics Convention. Three extraordinary robotics researchers, Dr. Vandi Verma, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA, Dr. Katherine Kuchenbecker, Director, Haptic Intelligence Division, Max Planck Institute for Clever Methods, Germany and Prof. Lydia Kavraki, Greek-American laptop scientist, the Noah Harding Professor of Pc Science, a professor of bioengineering, electrical and laptop engineering, and mechanical engineering, Rice College mentioned their profession paths, alternatives and difficulties they’ve confronted alongside their journey as a lady in engineering, mentoring, STEM promotion and work-life steadiness. The panelists additionally shared their invaluable private expertise and mentioned the significance of studying collectively. The occasion was exceptional.
There have been numerous in-depth discussions duing the workshop. We mentioned the significance of working towards a chat as a method of respecting the viewers throughout conferences, advocating for others as we by no means know who out there may be reflecting themselves on us and that how if now we have no paper rejected, we’re most likely enjoying it too protected. Additional, we additionally mentioned about discovering one’s area of interest and being one of the best at it. The thought of an aliveness detector was extra-ordinary. The idea behind the aliveness detector is that it’s described as the important thing to grasp why you want what you want, or what makes you are feeling alive, and having the curiosity to discover and join your inquiries to the identified data. The workshop ended with different researchers and individuals introducing themselves to the viewers and thereby getting each publicity and rising community.
Whereas I couldn’t make it to in-person networking occasions, the next networking occasions have been hosted and turned out to be a tremondous success certainly.
