Roboticists,

We did pretty well with IROS papers this year.  Come and hear about some of the awesome work that Robotics Program members presented at IROS, while you enjoy the usual coffee and cake.

This week, we have four short talks representing the diversity of research that we do here in the Robotics Program. All of these talks present work that recently appeared in the Internation Conference on Robots and Systems (IROS 2023).

- Parallelized Control-Aware Motion Planning with Learned Controller Proxies, Chow, Chang, and Hollinger.

- Hand Design Approach for Planar Fully Actuated Manipulators, Nave, DuFrene, Davidson, and Grimm.

- Robottheory Fitness: GoBot’s Engagement Edge for Spurring Physical Activity in Young Children, Mayoral, Helmi, Warren, Logan, and Fitter.

- Geometric Gait Optimization for Interia-Dominated Systems with Nonzero Net Momentum, Yang and Hatton.
