ICRA 2026 @ Vienna

ICRA 2026 @ Vienna

I attended the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2026 in Vienna and presented our work, CERNet: Class-Embedding Predictive-Coding RNN for Unified Robot Motion, Recognition, and Confidence Estimation, as a poster presentation. In this work, we proposed CERNet, a unified model that combines class embedding with a predictive-coding RNN to handle robot motion generation, recognition, and confidence estimation within a single model. The paper is expected to be published in the conference proceedings.

Participated in IROS2024 @Abu Dhabi

I participated in IROS (IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems) in Abu Dhabi with a Late Breaking Poster (LBP) presentation. As an extension of the Predictive-Coding inspired Variational RNN (PV-RNN), I analyzed how the internal state representations change when the number of learned motions is gradually increased through incremental learning, using principal component analysis (PCA). Since these are preliminary results, I presented them as an LBP, but I plan to further develop this work in more interesting directions in the future.
