I am co-organizing the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) RINO Workshop in Seoul, Korea 🇰🇷

I am co-organizing a Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) 2025 workshop! The workshop is Beyond Rigid Worlds: Representing and Interacting with Non‑Rigid Objects (RINO). This year CoRL accepted only 42% of the proposed workshops, and its reputation continues to grow as a leading venue for embodied intelligence–it currently ranks #18 in AI overall, and it would rank #3 in robotics by h5-index if categorized accordingly. This workshop aimed to build connections among top talent and leaders in robotics and AI to develop the academic and industry ecosystem around robotic interaction with non-rigid objects.

It was fun to co-organize this conference with an all-star team of Ph.D. students and Postdoctoral Scholars from all around the world, many of whom I first met at previous global robotics events (e.g., the KTH RPL Summer School and the IEEE ICRA Deformables Workshops). Thank you to Marcel Büsching, Jad Abou-Chakra, Alessio Caporali, Bardienus Duisterhof, Alberta Longhini, Jens Lundell, Priya Sundaresan, Mingrui Yu, and Kaifeng Zhang for making this event so great!
