RoboLab is back with a look at RO-MAN 2023

Just last week, I was in Busan, South Korea, attending RO-MAN 2023 for the first time. If you haven’t heard about this conference before, RO-MAN is one of the top conferences on human-robot interaction in the calendar year. Between sitting in outstanding conference talks and getting acquainted with South Korean culture (and food!), I had a very productive time. In our first meeting of RoboLab this Fall 2023 semester, I will share details about this conference trip. The photos below are there to instigate your curiosity. On that note, it looks like we have a lot of interest in RoboLab […]

RoboLab’s energy

Since we started meetings this Spring 2023 semester, RoboLab conversations have happened four times, over four consecutive weeks. It’s exciting to see that students have been interested and energized to come to our discussions on a purely voluntary, extra-curricular basis to geek out and explore robot-human interaction. Our Schedule shows the range of topics we have been exploring, but it doesn’t do justice to energy that our discussions have seen. I think we have started “a thing” at Bucknell. We have seen people demonstrate curiosity when Sean O’Connor introduced the group to the NAO6 robot technical aspects. Sean is in […]

HRI 2023 Stockholm, Sweden

I am excited to be on my third day at this ACM/IEEE conference in beautiful Stockholm. Other than this being about robots (a topic that has captured my interest since I was a little child), what I find most interesting about human-robot interaction (HRI) is how insanely multi-disciplinary this area is. If you take a moment to explore the table of contents of the conference proceedings you will understand what I mean. There is literally space for everyone in this field. From the electro-mechanical side of robotics to its ethical-philosophical implications passing through language, psychology, culture, and anthropology, HRI encompasses […]
