IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) has given many alternatives over time for researchers, industries, college students and the fanatics to community and collaborate. In the same trend, this 12 months in 2022, there have been nice variety of alternatives to contain and have interaction as nicely together with networking occasions.
Every week earlier than the convention, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Women in Engineering (RAS WiE) organized a free digital occasion for the fanatics from the robotics analysis discipline to be taught and focus on the points of Becoming a Plenary/Keynote Speaker in an International Robotics Conference. Three extraordinary robotics researchers, Dr. Vandi Verma, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA, Dr. Katherine Kuchenbecker, Director, Haptic Intelligence Department, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Germany and Prof. Lydia Kavraki, Greek-American pc scientist, the Noah Harding Professor of Computer Science, a professor of bioengineering, electrical and pc engineering, and mechanical engineering, Rice University mentioned their profession paths, alternatives and difficulties they’ve confronted alongside their journey as a girl in engineering, mentoring, STEM promotion and work-life steadiness. The panelists additionally shared their invaluable private expertise and mentioned the significance of studying collectively. The occasion was outstanding.
There had been plenty of in-depth discussions duing the workshop. We mentioned the significance of training a chat as a method of respecting the viewers throughout conferences, advocating for others as we by no means know who out there’s reflecting themselves on us and that how if we now have no paper rejected, we’re most likely taking part in it too protected. Further, we additionally mentioned about discovering one’s area of interest and being the perfect at it. The thought of an aliveness detector was extra-ordinary. The idea behind the aliveness detector is that it’s described as the important thing to know why you want what you want, or what makes you are feeling alive, and having the curiosity to discover and join your inquiries to the identified data. The workshop ended with different researchers and members introducing themselves to the viewers and thereby getting each publicity and rising community.
While I couldn’t make it to in-person networking occasions, the next networking occasions had been hosted and turned out to be a tremondous success certainly.
