2025 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: 5-8 October 2025
Telepresence technology will enable a revolutionary collaborative model where humans and robots work together, leveraging their unique strengths to extend humanity’s reach into space during this New Era of Space Exploration. The telepresence operations framework allows humans to apply their skills and expertise to complex problems remotely while utilizing the resilience of robots. Telepresence can be applied in various space operations, creating the impression that crew members and ground personnel are present in a different location
World Haptics Workshop • In-person Event
Telepresence refers to the feeling of truly being at a remote location. Telepresence systems can create that feeling through advanced, multisensory, bidirectional interfaces that allow you to sense, communicate, and act in a remote environment. As concluded after a recently completed XPRIZE competition on Avatar Robotics (Avatar XPRIZE), more complex tasks will demand high-fidelity haptics for fine manipulation and full body haptics (Analysis Avatar XPRIZE). This underlines that telepresence systems cannot rely on vision and audition only: haptics is of crucial importance for successful telepresence systems.
Overall, this workshop promises to be an enriching experience, providing valuable knowledge and practical skills.
ICRA 2025 • In-person Event – 23 May 2025
The workshop “Human-Centric Robotics for Telepresence” aims to explore the impact of telepresence robotics, focusing on enriching user experience and societal well-being. This interdisciplinary event will emphasise the critical role of human factors in shaping robotic applications across industry, healthcare, and more. Participants will discuss how both technological and ergonomic insights can enhance the operational effectiveness, user experience, and acceptance of telepresence technologies
