USC researchers present 15 papers at the 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS).
From robots that learn to gently handle objects by watching demonstrations, to more efficient search-and-rescue robots that “see through” darkness and dust, USC researchers have co-authored 15 papers at the 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), which takes place at the Kyoto International Conference Center, Japan, Oct. 23-27.
As one of the largest and most impactful research conferences in the world, IROS showcases leading-edge research in intelligent robots and smart machines. The conference focuses on future directions in robotics, and the latest approaches, designs and outcomes. It also provides an opportunity for researchers to network with the world’s leading roboticists. The theme of IROS 2022 is “Embodied AI for a Symbiotic Society.”
“IROS is one of the two largest annual robotics conferences in the world,” said Gaurav Sukhatme, the Fletcher Jones Foundation Endowed Chair in Computer Science and Executive Vice Dean of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and an Amazon Scholar. “Roboticists at USC pursue a wide variety of problems in intelligent robots and systems and this diversity is reflected in USC’s strong representation at the conference.”
In addition, Maja Matarić, the Chan Soon-Shiong Chair and Distinguished Professor of computer science, neuroscience, and pediatrics, was honored as one of the 35 Women in Robotics Engineering and Science (WiRES) at the event’s Anniversary Forum, where she gave a keynote on “assistive and social robots.”
