News! Breaking news: A special issue of the journal Fontiers in Robotics and AI will be dedicated to New Frontiers in Parallel Robotics. We encourage interested authors willing to contribute to contact the workshop's organizers and to have a look to the following webpage: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/38661/new-frontiers-in-parallel-robotics ---------------- The workshop will take place on May 27. It will be in hybrid mode, from around 8:30am to 6:30 pm Philidelphia time. A Zoom session will be set up for people that won't be able to come to Philadelphia, but are willing to participate. Remote participation will be free, while in-person participation requires a paid registration (https://www.icra2022.org/registration/registration-fees). In-person workshop presenters must be registered to ICRA's workshops.
ICRA 2022 Workshop: "New frontiers of parallel robotics" (second edition) Rigid-link fixed-base parallel robotics is a mature research area and an enabler for the development of a diverse range of industrial applications (e.g. pick-and-place manipulation, machine-tools, simulators, etc). Fundamental scientific questions for these robots are now solved, which lead to a decrease in their scientific interest. Over the past decade, innovation resulted in new types of parallel robotic devices such as soft/continuum robots, flying robots, cable-driven robots, underactuated robots, multi-finger hands, etc. These novel closed-chain mechanisms, with no rigid links or no fixed base or no traditional end-effector, are associated with new scientific challenges in terms of design, modelling, and control. While those scientific questions are exciting they remain largely unsolved, and prevent new parallel robots from passing academia to industry or society. This workshop aims at:
Scope Many researchers working on new types of parallel robots (defined in the abstract) do not come from the conventional parallel robotics community, and vice-versa. As a result, new communities do not benefit from the experience of the traditional community, while the traditional community misses many new scientific challenges that could drive their research in the future. This is the reason why this workshop aims at:
Important dates 15 April 2022: Deadline for abstract’s submission 29 April 2022: Notification of acceptance May 27 2022: Workshop (full-day)
Venue and participation Whatever the sanitary situation, the workshop will take place in hybrid mode: both in presence in Philadelphia and live-streamed through a Zoom session.
Workshop content The speakers and the titles of their talks are listed hereafter (all speakers already accepted to participate in the workshop).
Historical and industrial perspective
Materials for robotics
Interaction & manipulation
Robot design & analysis
In order to favor the interaction between the invited researchers and the audience, four different types of sessions will be organized in addition to the keynote sessions:
Two awards will be given: the award for the best extended abstract (including the presentation quality), and the award for the best poster (including the quality of the 5-min presentation).
