[Award] Congrats to my student Rafael I. Cabral Muchacho for getting the best student paper award at the Geriatronics Summit!  And congrats to my collaborator Eva Theresa Jahn and Yuhe Gong, my student to be, for the tied 3rd place!  

[Geriatronics Summit] Amazing experience to host the 2nd Geriatronics Summit! Many thanks to all the amazing 16 speakers. Link for the event. 

[DEMO] Exciting times at the Automatica Munich_i 2023. In addition to supporting several demos of the  Geriatronics team, my research group w/ Rafael I. Cabral Muchacho and Riddhiman Laha had a super fun demo: Interacting with Spill-Free Robots, where we challenged people to break our demo (Result: 8-hours of continuous run per 4 days, hundred to thousand users from kids to roboticists and no break! Check it out (LINK) 

[IROS-23] Our Papers on Shared Autonomy Control for Slosh-free Teleoperation has been accepted for presentation at IROS-23!  

[ICRA-23] Excited about output of our workshop on Geometric Representations: The Roles of Screw Theory, Lie Algebra & Geometric Algebra. At the peak, we had more than 110 people attending! Congrats to Julen U., Niklas Wilhelm Funk ,Jan Peters , Georgia Chalvatzaki for the best paper!  Check it out (link).

[ICRA-23] Excited to present two papers with our team! Congrats to Arthur Bucker, Wenxi Wu and Riddhiman Laha!  Talk to us at the poster session! Also, excited to have once again a demo running in the Exhibition center. Check out the Franka/Clearpath booth! 

Very happy to host a good friend and amazing researcher Gabriella Pizzuto for a talk about robotics and chemistry! 

[TALK] Super happy to give at Devanthro - the Robody Company, see friends and check out their super cool Roboy and the student's presentations. Check it out (link).

[IROS-23] Our Workshop Geriatronics: AI and Robotics for Health & Well-Being in Older Age has been accepted for the 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2023). Check it out (link).

I have been invited to work as Associated Editor at IROS-23

[ICRA-23] Our Papers (i) S∗ : On Safe and Time Efficient Robot Motion Planning 
(ii) LaTTe: Language Trajectory TransformEr (arxiv version) have been accepted for presentation at ICRA-23!  

I was very happy to host RAICAM's Kick-off meeting with amazing collaborators (link)

Our research was cover at the TUM.de website (link). We were also seeing at the U-Bahn (metro) all over Munich (link).    Many thanks to Andreas Schmitz. 

[ICRA-23] I have two workshops accepted for the next ICRA-23 in London. Check out below for more details.
