From robots inspired by snakes and dogs to tiny crawling microrobots, USC researchers are presenting a wide range of research at this year’s International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), one of the world’s largest and most influential robotics conferences. Taking place Oct 1-5 in Detroit, MI, this year’s conference theme is “The Next Generation of Robotics.”
Accepted USC papers cover various areas, including perception in robot manipulation, remote object localization, autonomous mobility in extreme terrain, and real-world collaborative manipulation tasks for quadrupedal robots.
