International Robot Conference '2023 RSS' Held in Daegu, Asia's First Venue

Lecture by Jamie Baek on Paper Robot Development

AI Expert Oh Hye-yeon Also Participates

The '2023 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference (RSS 2023)', the most prestigious international conference in the fields of AI and robotics software, will be held for six days from July 9 to 14 at Daegu EXCO.

Since its inception in 2005, RSS has been held annually, moving across continents, and this event will be held in Daegu for the first time in Asia.

RSS 2023 is expected to attract over 800 participants from 40 countries, including researchers in AI and robotics worldwide and global companies such as Amazon Robotics, Toyota Research Institute, and Hanwha Systems. The event was successfully secured by Daegu Convention Bureau (CEO Bae Young-cheol), Daegu's dedicated international conference organization, and Professor Hanlim Choi of KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) through a unanimous decision by the board members after a fierce competition in June 2021.

EXCO, the venue for the RSS conference, which boasts global authority in the field of robotics.

RSS 2023 will feature a variety of programs including keynote lectures by world-renowned scholars, 25 workshops, 112 paper presentations, poster sessions, public lectures, and cultural tours.

In particular, the keynote lectures by leading global scholars and public lectures for general citizens are noteworthy at this international conference.

Professor Alice Oh of KAIST, a world authority in natural language processing AI, and Professor Jamie Paik, founder and director of the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), will participate as keynote speakers. Notably, Professor Jamie Paik is known as a genius professor who first developed paper robots.

The public lectures will be held under the main theme "The Future Where Robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Coexist," with Professors Hanlim Choi and Haewon Park of KAIST as speakers. Professor Hanlim Choi will lecture on the topic "Giving Brains to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles," and Professor Haewon Park will speak on "Walking Robots Approaching Us Rapidly." These lectures will provide an opportunity to consider the impact of the combination of robotics and AI on society and industry, and are expected to raise public understanding and interest in robotics technology.

Bae Young-cheol, CEO of Daegu Convention Bureau, which secured the event for Daegu, said, "RSS 2023 is a special occasion to share the latest AI and robotics technologies and research trends that attract global attention, and to provide international networking and collaboration opportunities. Since Daegu is fostering AI and robotics industries as one of the 'five major future new industries,' we expect RSS 2023 to serve as a stepping stone for Daegu to advance as a leading city in AI and robotics industries and greatly help raise Daegu's international recognition."

The public lectures are free of charge and anyone interested in AI and robotics can participate after pre-registration. Detailed event schedules and registration methods can be found on the official RSS 2023 website.
