We received the #ICRA2025 #HRI #Award for Arts & Robotics on our co-painting robot 🏆 This project shows how arts and robotics can be used as a testbed to create better robots and to discover new knowledge about humans. @ieee_ras_icra @UMRobotics @DARPA

At #ICRA2025? Now (2pm), go paint with a robot from @p_alvesoliveira's lab in the exhibition hall, arts & robotics space!

we just concluded the #Design #Retreat in Human-Robot Interaction, where experts from academia & industry gathered for 2 days in @Newlab in Detroit to discuss the current challenges and re-invent the future(s) of #Design for #HRI 🥸 https://t.co/di5Uwf0SOb
