And we won the #RSS 2025 Best Paper Award! Congrats @rkjenamani and the entire @EmpriseLab team @CornellCIS 🎉🎉
Congrats @rkjenamani and the entire team @EmpriseLab on this impressive accomplishment and being nominated for Best Paper Award and Best Systems Paper Award at #RSS 2025! This project took almost 2.5 years to get to this stage, and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved…
So proud of what we achieved with the PhyRC Challenge at #ICRA2025 with the support of our generous sponsors @KinovaRobotics and @hellorobotinc! From simulation to real-world assistive care tasks -- robot-assisted dressing and bed-bathing -- this was an ambitious undertaking.…
🚀 Wrapping up an incredible journey at the PhyRC Challenge (emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/cha…) at #ICRA2025! Over the past few months, teams from around the world have been tackling challenging tasks in assistive robotics — dressing and bed-bathing. The journey began in RCareWorld…
In home robotics wins best paper award! Congrats to Tapo and team

Most assistive robots live in labs. We want to change that. FEAST enables care recipients to personalize mealtime assistance in-the-wild, with minimal researcher intervention across diverse in-home scenarios. 🏆 Outstanding Paper & Systems Paper Finalist @RoboticsSciSys 🧵1/8
Happy to share a new preprint: "Coloring Between the Lines: Personalization in the Null Space of Planning Constraints" w/ @rkjenamani, @RealZiangLiu, Ben Dodson, and @TapoBhat. TLDR: We propose a method for continual, flexible, active, and safe robot personalization. Links 👇

The Real-robot competition phase of #PhyRC is finally happening! Come check out caregiving robots in action at Booth #C7 at #ICRA2025. Good luck to the teams from Brazil, Canada, and the UK! Website: emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/cha… @ieeeras @ieee_ras_icra @CornellCIS @Cornell_CS…
We’re thrilled to announce the teams moving forward to Phase 2 of the PhyRC Challenge! A huge congratulations to all the selected teams! In this next stage, you will compete with real robot prizes sponsored by @KinovaRobotics and @hellorobotinc. 🔹 Track 1 (Robot-assisted…
Congrats @rohanbbanerjee and the team on getting nominated for Best paper award at #ICRA2025 for their work on “To ask or not to ask: Human-in-the-loop contextual bandits with applications in robot-assisted feeding”. Check out his presentation in Room 302 on Tuesday at the Awards…
I'm at #ICRA2025 this week to help out with the #PhyRC Challenge led by @Nekovowo @TapoBhat @EmpriseLab. Say hello if you're here and stop by to see caregiving robots in action! Competition website: emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/cha…
Congratulations to @EmpriseLab for winning the Unity for Humanity Grant Award ( unity.com/blog/announcin… ) with our RCareWorld project. All credit goes to @Nekovowo for leading this project!
Meet the kiri-spoon, a utensil developed by #VirginiaTech researchers to assist those with limited mobility. 🙌 Developed in collaboration with Cornell University, the kiri-spoon can both grasp like a fork and scoop like a spoon.
How can caregiving robots adapt their control policies across people with diverse mobility limitations, balancing robot assistance with user agency in action across various tasks? Check out @RealZiangLiu et al.'s work @EmpriseLab @CornellCIS: GRACE: Generalizing Robot-Assisted…
