Generative AI and the Future of Robotic Research\n As generative AI technologies rapidly evolve\, their integration into robotic research has ushered in unprecedented possibilities\, from accelerating simulation environments and optimizing control systems to enabling autonomous decision-making and human-robot interaction. However\, alongside these innovations arise critical concerns around transparency\, reproducibility\, ethical boundaries\, and the potential for misuse. The objective of the event is to discuss both the constructive and controversial roles of generative AI in robotics. Topics of discussion will include methodological integrity\, dataset biases\, synthetic data generation\, algorithmic accountability\, and the implications of AI-authored research. The event aims to have a critical reflection to chart a responsible path forward for integrating generative AI in robotics while safeguarding scientific rigor and societal trust. \nSPEAKERS \n \nElena De Momi\, Full professor at Politecnico di  MilanoTitle of the presentation: “Gen AI in the medical robotics domain” \n\n\n Read Speaker Bio\n \n \n \nElena received her MSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2002\, PhD in Bioengineering in 2006\, and she is currently Full Professor in the Electronic Information and Bioengineering Department (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano.

Moreover\, the same risks that haunted the field at its inception continue to represent prominent challenges today. In this forum\, we will focus on two key areas of ethical concern surrounding robots: their use as tools of surveillance and their impacts on labor. \nTo explore these topics\, the ICRA 2025 Ethics Forum will bring together experts from disparate fields of study to examine the historical antecedents of these concerns\, the modern ways in which these concerns manifest\, the ways these concerns are expected to manifest in the future\, the technical approaches that we (as technologists) might take to address the concerns\, and the social approaches that we (as citizens) might also (or alternatively) pursue to address those same concerns. \n2:00 PM – 2:10 PM: Ayanna Howard: Introduction\n2:10 PM – 2:45 PM: Tom Williams\n2:45 PM – 3:15 PM: Main Break on schedule\n3:15 PM – 3:50 PM: Bill Smart\n3:50 PM – 4:25 PM: Wendy Ju\n4:25 PM – 4:35 PM: Short Break on schedule\n4:35 PM – 5:10 PM: Hee Rin Lee\n5:10 PM – 6:00 PM: Panel: Bill Smart\, Wendy Ju\, Hee Rin Lee\, Salem Elzway\, Jules Roscoe (Mod.

This event will provide information about RAS’s review process and offer guidelines for reviewing scientific papers. Both senior and junior reviewers are welcome to attend! \nAdditional time will be available for students to get to know each other and network\, which makes it easier to engage in thoughtful conversations on the future of robotics and automation during the remainder of the conference. \nThere is NO CHARGE for this event\, but space is limited.
