Robotics folks – #ICRA2022 Day 5 large wrap-up

This 12 months 2022 has been the primary time that I’ve attended ICRA, and I had by no means even remotely anticipated that it was going to be such an intense and thrilling expertise for me.

Earlier than beginning the convention, I believed that what would curiosity me probably the most could be the state-of-the-art robots which might be showcased in the course of the convention. I’m a researcher in swarm robotics, and I usually work with small instructional robots. To me, the ICRA 2022 Science Communication Awards appeared a fantastic alternative to expertise the big ecosystem of robots introduced within the exhibitions and the competitions. Since I used to be not presenting any paper, attending to see superb robots resulted very intriguing.

Nevertheless, I rapidly understood that there’s a lot extra to only attending the convention. One of the best half about collaborating in a robotics venue with practically eight thousand attendees is, with little question, the robotics folks. I met proficient and interesting those who have been open to collaborate, focus on and query just about each facet of robotics. Now I imagine that the convention can also be far more than the chance to publish a prestigious article; it’s the alternative to open your concepts, to get enriching suggestions, and to contact with a various and multidisciplinary group of roboticists.

In ICRA 2022, I collaborated with the Publicity Committee to portrait some curious, attention-grabbing, and emotive moments of the convention in a sequence of video digests. In case you missed any, yow will discover them in my Robohub profile. In case you simply need to watch some superb robots in video, you can even go on to the YouTube playlist that lists all of them. I produced the content material in each English and Spanish, so a particular shout-out to Robohub and Ciencia en el Bar for serving to with the outreach. The digests in Spanish can be found in my web site.

Subsequent 12 months, ICRA is transferring to London. I hope to satisfy you all once more there! Perhaps whereas nonetheless doing science communication, or perhaps whereas presenting a paper.
