NEWS MERL contributes to 2025 European Control Conference
Date:

June 24, 2025 - June 27, 2025
Where:

Thessaloniki
Description:

MERL researchers contributed to both the technical program and workshop organization at the 2025 European Control Conference (ECC), held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from June 24 to 27. ECC is one of the premier conferences in the field of control.

In the main conference, MERL researchers presented four papers covering a range of topics, including: Representation learning, Motion planning for tractor-trailers, Motion planning for mobile manipulators, Learning high-dimensional dynamical systems, Model learning for robotics.

Additionally, MERL co-organized a workshop with the University of Padua titled “Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Control: Recent Developments and Open Challenges.” MERL researcher Diego Romeres also delivered an invited talk titled “Human-Robot Collaborative Assembly” in that workshop.
