2022 IEEE Future Directions Symposium on Telepresence
09-10 November 2022
Decades after it was first used to control operations in hazardous environments and in space, telerobotics, combined with autonomy, is getting ready to significantly impact our lives in major ways. In 1980, MIT Professor and AI pioneer, Marvin Minsky’s words predicted a revolutionary change: “Telepresence is not science fiction. We could have a remote-controlled economy by the twenty-first century if we start planning right now”. While the progression was slower, several recent events, in particular the global pandemic, provided a boost to the ‘tele’ revolution.
From tele-health to tele-education and teleoperation products and applications that will irreversibly change how we work and live, telepresence will have a major impact on quality of life.
After a successful workshop in 2021, IEEE Future Directions Committee organized a Symposium on Telepresence to facilitate research and developments for 09-10 November 2022.
