ORI are regular attendees at ICRA, having sent members as far back as the Millennium Conference in 2000. We love this opportunity to not only engage with the latest research but also to reconnect with our friends in the robotics community.
While the editorial board is always innovating the format of the conference, the quality of the proceedings proved no exception to the norm.
A battery of fluid poster sessions allowed our researchers to wander through a charged environment and engage in ad hoc style with papers on a range of topics.
The conference was concluded by a block of workshops which followed a more traditional speaker format, facilitating a more in-depth look at the state of the field across a huge scope of interest.
The social schedule was top notch, as always, and we were particularly impressed with the ICRA-X Robotic Art Program, which is as far as we know unique in robotics conference history.

We are particularly proud of all of our students who published in the proceedings of ICRA 2019 as well as the postdocs and academics who contributed to the organisation of a few workshops.
