The 2024 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024) will be held from 14-18 October in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The programme includes plenary and keynote talks, workshops, tutorials, and forums. We (AIhub) are also holding a science communication session, run in collaboration with IEEE Spectrum.

Plenary talks

There are four plenary talks on the programme this year:

  • Oussama KhatibMission in Dubai, collaboration with UAE
  • Najwa AarajBuilding Trust in Autonomous Systems: Security Strategies for the Next Generation of Robotics
  • Yoshihiko NakamuraEmbodiment of AI and Biomechanics/Neuroscience
  • Magnus EgerstedtMutualistic Interactions in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems: From Environmental Monitoring to the Robotarium

Keynote talks

The keynotes this year fall under the umbrella topics of: flying machines, biorobotics, AI and robotics, and robotics competitions.

  • Flying machines
    • Davide ScaramuzzaDrone Racing
    • Guido De CroonDelFly Explorer
    • Giuseppe LoiannoAgile Robotics and Perception Lab

    • Timothy ChungAmericas: DARPA Challenges
    • Ubbo VisserRoboCup Federation
    • Thomas McCarthyGrand Challenges as a Mechanism to Hasten Translation from Lab to Market

Forums

The forums are three-hour events that focus on a particular topic. Each forum will have keynote speakers, with some including a poster session and other talks.

Science communication for roboticists

This session is a collaboration between AIhub.org/Robohub.org and IEEE Spectrum. We will cover different ways to communicate about your work to a more general audience, and how to work with media. You can find out more here.

Workshops

The 46 workshops take place on 14 and 15 October.

Tutorials

The tutorials take place on 14 and 15 October. There are 10 to choose from this year.
