Robotics individuals – #ICRA2022 Day 5 massive wrap-up

This yr 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 can 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 academic robots. To me, the ICRA 2022 Science Communication Awards appeared an awesome alternative to expertise the big ecosystem of robots offered within the exhibitions and the competitions. Since I used to be not presenting any paper, attending to see wonderful robots resulted very intriguing.

Nevertheless, I rapidly understood that there’s a lot extra to simply attending the convention. One of the best half about collaborating in a robotics venue with almost eight thousand attendees is, with little question, the robotics individuals. I met proficient and interesting those who had been open to collaborate, focus on and query just about each facet of robotics. Now I consider that the convention can also be rather more than the likelihood 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 the event you missed any, you will discover them in my Robohub profile. In the event you simply need to watch some wonderful robots in video, you may as well 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 yr, ICRA is transferring to London. I hope to satisfy you all once more there! Possibly whereas nonetheless doing science communication, or possibly whereas presenting a paper.
