Date/Time/Place 2019/06/24(Mon) / Full day / Amethyst Hall (2F)
Abstract & Program 2019 MOTIE/OSD Program Review/Workshop on Korea-US Disaster Relief Robots

This workshop is the third and final review of the Korea/US Disaster Relief Robotics Projects that was established in 2016. Each review has been held in conjunction with the 2017 and 2018 UR International conferences. The research areas that will be discussed include: novel platforms for search and rescue, advanced human-robot interaction (HRI) for command and control, and advanced robotic perception/recognition for enhanced situational awareness.

The topic and joint team members are listed below.
