OMRON SINIC X Six Research Papers Accepted for ICRA 2024, Top-Tier Conference on Robotics

• May 10, 2024

OMRON SINIC X Corporation (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masaki Suwa; hereinafter referred to as "OSX") is pleased to announce that six of its research papers have been accepted for publication at the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robots and Automation (ICRA 2024).

ICRA is one of the largest and most influential international conferences on robotics and automation. A total of 1,765 papers (about 45%) were accepted out of 3,937 submissions in 2024. The conference will be held in Yokohama, Japan, from May 13 to 17, 2024. Our papers present research robots that understand work intentions based on linguistic and scene observations, move flexibly like humans, or autonomously cooperate with other robots.
For details, please confirm the link of each paper accepted for ICRA 2024.
