The International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2020) is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s (RAS) flagship conference and the premier international forum for robotics researchers to present and discuss their work.

According to ICRA 2020, creating a world class technical program for ICRA requires the contributions of many. For that, IEEE RAS recognizes individuals who provide outstanding contributions to the Conference Editorial Board. 

And it gives us great pleasure to affirm that our own Prof. Jee-Hwan Ryu has been conferred with the Outstanding Reviewer Award at ICRA 2020. This award repesents going over and beyond what is typically expected from an associate editor (ICRA 2020 Awards ceremony highlights).

8, March 2019. 

Today, we had a mini homecoming of its kind, where two of our BioRob lab’s alumni visited KoreaTech to share their research journeys thus far at their own alma mater.

Prof. Ildar Farkhatdinov, one of the first graduates of our BioRob lab in 2008, and  Boris Gromov, our visiting researcher back in the day, conducted a special seminar at KoreaTech where they talked about their researches ranging from assistive technologies, telerobotics, virtual reality, and intuitive multi-modal human-robot interaction using hand/arm gestures. 

After catering to an influx of queries from the attendees, the boys made their rounds to our BioRob labs to revisit the memories they’d made while they were here.

Thank you for coming, guys!
