POSTED: 18 May, 2025
This week, Professor Teresa Vidal Calleja is representing the Australian Cobotics Centre at the prestigious IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2025 in Atlanta.
At the forefront of global robotics research, ICRA brings together the world’s leading experts to explore cutting-edge innovations in automation and intelligent systems. Professor Vidal Calleja will be presenting collaborative work between the UTS Robotics Institute and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS).
The paper, “Interactive Distance Field Mapping and Planning to Enable Human-Robot Collaboration,” is co-authored by Usama Ali, Lan Wu, Adrian Müller, Fouad (Fred) Sukkar, Dr Tobias Kaupp, and Prof Teresa Vidal Calleja. It explores new techniques to support more seamless and intelligent human-robot collaboration through advanced mapping and planning.
This research represents a significant step forward in enabling safer, more efficient shared workspaces between humans and robots.
