5th Workshop on Proximity Perception - Towards Next Generation Multi-...

In the 5th workshop on proximity perception @IEEE IROS, we will focus on (i) recent and future technological developments of proximity and tactile sensing systems embedded in soft structures, (ii) the realistic simulation of these systems coupled to modern physics engines and (iii) state-of-the-art applications. Our speakers from academia provide expertise in cutting edge proximity and tactile perception technology as well as innovative solutions for their application. Our speakers from industry are able to provide first-hand accounts of the procedures for certifying and deploying proximity and tactile perception technologies on real robotic systems. As a result, the workshop will continue to build connections between academic research and industry as well as between the communities of proximity perception, tactile perception and robotic materials.
