The award ceremony unveiled the top paper recipients across various categories. Discover the innovative projects that are shaping the future of robotics. Key Winners & Finalists Announced
The competition was fierce, with numerous outstanding submissions. Here’s a breakdown of the winners and finalists:
- IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award on Robot Learning: Robo-DM: Data Management for Large Robot Datasets, Kaiyuan Chen, Letian Fu, David Huang, Yanxiang Zhang, Yunliang Lawrence Chen, Huang Huang, Kush Hari, Ashwin Balakrishna, Ted Xiao, Pannag Sanketi, John Kubiatowicz, Ken Goldberg – This project tackles the critical challenge of managing vast datasets in robot learning. The keyword “robotics” is central to this research.
Finalists (Robot Learning): Achieving Human Level Competitive Robot Table Tennis, David D’Ambrosio, Saminda Wishwajith Abeyruwan, Laura Graesser, Atil Iscen, Heni Ben Amor, Alex Bewley, Barney J. Reed, Krista Reymann, Yuval Tassa, Krysztof Choromanski, Erwin Coumans, Deepali Jain, Navdeep Jaitly, Natasha Jaques, Satoshi Kataoka, Yuheng Kuang, Nevena Lazic, Reza Mahjourian, Sherry Moore, Kenneth Oslund, Anish Shankar, Vikas Sindhwani, Vincent Vanhoucke, Grace Vesom, Peng Xu, Pannag Sanketi; No Plan but Everything under Control: Robustly Solving Sequential Tasks with Dynamically Composed Gradient Descent, Vito Mengers, Oliver Brock
IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award in Field and Service Robotics: PolyTouch: A Robust Multi-Modal Tactile Sensor for Contact-Rich Manipulation Using Tactile-Diffusion Policies, Jialiang Zhao, Naveen Kuppuswamy, Siyuan Feng, Benjamin Burchfiel, Edward Adelson – This work introduces a novel tactile sensor for enhanced robot manipulation. The phrase “field robotics” is important here.
Finalists (Field & Service Robotics): A New Stereo Fisheye Event Camera for Fast Drone Detection and Tracking, Daniel Rodrigues Da Costa, Maxime Robic, Pascal Vasseur, Fabio Morbidi; Learning-Based Adaptive Navigation for Scalar Field Mapping and Feature Tracking, Jose Fuentes, Paulo Padrao, Abdullah Al Redwan Newaz, Leonardo Bobadilla
IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award on Human-Robot Interaction: Human-Agent Joint Learning for Efficient Robot Manipulation Skill Acquisition, Shengchent Luo, Quanuan Peng, Jun Lv, Kaiwen Hong, Katherin Driggs-Campbell, Cewu Lu, Yong-Lu Li – This project explores a collaborative approach to robot skill learning with humans. The “human robot interaction” area is well-represented.
Finalists (Human-Robot Interaction): To Ask or Not to Ask: Human-In-The-Loop Contextual Bandits with Applications in Robot-Assisted Feeding, Rohan Banerjee, Rajat Kumar Jenamani, Sidharth Vasudev, Amal Nanavati, Katherine Dimitropoulou, Sarah Dean, Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee; Point and Go: Intuitive Reference Frame Reallocation in Mode Switching for Assistive Robotics, Allie Wang, Chen Jiang, Michael Przystupa, Justin Valentine, Martin Jagersand
IEEE ICRA Best Paper Award on Mechanisms and Design: Individual and Collective Behaviors in Soft Robot Worms Inspired by Living Worm Blobs, Carina Kaeser, Junghan Kwon, Elio Challita, Harry Tuazon, Robert Wood, Saad Bhamla, Justin Werfel – This innovative project leverages biological inspiration for soft robotics design. The term “robotics” is a core theme.
