The $500 poster winner (3rd place) was Shubham Sonawani. The workshop was 2nd XR-ROB Workshop on “Horizons of an Extended Robotics Reality” – a Converging Future of XR and Robotics, held at IROS 2023. The poster title was “Comparing Static and Dynamic Signals for Effective Human-Robot Collaboration”
Award winner Shubham Sonawani with co-chair of TC Haptics Jee-Hwan Ryu
The TCs on Haptics and Telerobotics held a social event for members at IROS 2023 in Detroit. About 50 people attended. Announcements were made about the TC and upcoming deadlines and interactions. Many faculty and graduate students were able to exchange ideas.
Our conferences typically include two and a half or three days of paper presentations and demos, preceded or followed by one day of workshops and tutorials. They are usually attended by between 200 and 500 people, providing a range of forums to present, discuss, and demonstrate interdisciplinary research.
In even years, the IEEE Haptics Symposium is held in North America, the EuroHaptics Conference is held in Europe, and the AsiaHaptics Conference is held in Asia. In odd years, these three conferences come together to form our flagship international conference, the IEEE World Haptics Conference, which rotates between the three continents.
TCH has been particularly involved in helping organize Student Innovation Challenges at these conferences. These activities give student teams from around the world the chance to develop a custom haptic application for novel hardware
In addition to the workshops and tutorials held at the haptics conferences mentioned above, the TCH also supports researchers who are organizing workshops and tutorials related to haptics at any other conference. We typically agree to support several such proposals each year at ICRA and IROS.
We publish a quarterly magazine, The Newsletter of TCH, to publicize the latest progress in haptic science and technology to readers inside and outside the IEEE RAS community.
TCH runs and fund an annual grant to support cross-fertilization among research groups and increase connections within the haptics community. Two student exchanges of several months in duration are supported each year. The provided funds can be used for travel and living expenses
