What’s arising at #IROS2024?



The 2024 IEEE/RSJ Worldwide Convention on Clever Robots and Programs (IROS 2024) will probably be held from 14-18 October in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The programme contains plenary and keynote talks, workshops, tutorials, and boards. We (AIhub) are additionally holding a science communication session, run in collaboration with IEEE Spectrum.

Plenary talks

There are 4 plenary talks on the programme this yr:

  • Oussama Khatib – Mission in Dubai, collaboration with UAE
  • Najwa Aaraj – Constructing Belief in Autonomous Programs: Safety Methods for the Subsequent Technology of Robotics
  • Yoshihiko Nakamura – Embodiment of AI and Biomechanics/Neuroscience
  • Magnus Egerstedt – Mutualistic Interactions in Heterogeneous Multi-Robotic Programs: From Environmental Monitoring to the Robotarium
