We finalized our Phase 2 (Real-world Phase) venue! Our competition proposal was accepted at ICRA 2025 in Atlanta🎉 IEEE ICRA Here’s the timeline: 🗓️ Phase 1 ends: Dec 23, 2024 🗓️ Phase 2 participants announced: Dec 30, 2024 So far, 56 teams are participating, tackling:

We’re thrilled to announce the teams moving forward to Phase 2 of the PhyRC Challenge! A huge congratulations to all the selected teams! In this next stage, you will compete with real robot prizes sponsored by Kinova and Hello Robot. 🔹 Track 1 (Robot-assisted

Towards deployable physical caregiving robots! 🍽️🚀 Looking forward to a feast of ideas at the HRI Pioneers workshop—where cool research is always on the menu. See you in Melbourne! 🦘

Meet the kiri-spoon, a utensil developed by #VirginiaTech researchers to assist those with limited mobility. 🙌 Developed in collaboration with Cornell University, the kiri-spoon can both grasp like a fork and scoop like a spoon.

How can caregiving robots adapt their control policies across people with diverse mobility limitations, balancing robot assistance with user agency in action across various tasks?

Congratulations to EmPRISE Lab for winning the Unity for Humanity Grant Award ( unity.com/blog/announcin… ) with our RCareWorld project. All credit goes to Ruolin Ye for leading this project!

I'm at #ICRA2025 this week to help out with the #PhyRC Challenge led by Ruolin Ye Tapomayukh "Tapo" Bhattacharjee EmPRISE Lab. Say hello if you're here and stop by to see caregiving robots in action! Competition website: emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/cha…

Congrats Rohan Banerjee and the team on getting nominated for Best paper award at #ICRA2025 for their work on “To ask or not to ask: Human-in-the-loop contextual bandits with applications in robot-assisted feeding”. Check out his presentation in Room 302 on Tuesday at the Awards

The Real-robot competition phase of #PhyRC is finally happening! Come check out caregiving robots in action at Booth #C7 at #ICRA2025. Good luck to the teams from Brazil, Canada, and the UK!
