ICRA 2024
The last week was a busy one in robotics. ICRA (International Conference on Robotics and Automation) 2024 was held in Yokohama, Japan. ICRA is a major gathering of both academics and exhibitors from robotic companies. It is geared more towards industrial robot design, so you would not find many papers on home robots. My favorite part of ICRA is watching all the cool robots from the exhibit area on Twitter (with hashtag #icra2024). As an example, this video shows the Boston Dynamic Spot in the Quadruped Robot Challange. And this video shows the robot parade. And if you wish to have a glimpse of humanoid robots, you can see this tweet. And some cool robots in a dance party here. There are lots more on Twitter and other social media. I would recommend you to check these out, some are fascinating.
