We wanted to share a recap of our time at IEEE RO-MAN 2024, the 33rd IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, in Pasadena, Calofornia, USA.
It was an incredible experience connecting with like-minded individuals passionate about human-robot interaction and robotics.
We were thrilled to showcase our Arduino and ESP32 programmable Bittle robot dogs, Bittle with robot arm, Nybble, Nybble Q robot cats and next-generation digital metal servos with motion feedback. We had the opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics and explore the potential of robotics to enhance humanity.
As we discussed at the event, our mission at Petoi is to make robots affordable and interactive for the mass market. We believe that by working together, we can build a better future with human-centered AI and robotics.
We're excited to explore opportunities for collaboration in robotics education, application, and research. One example is Tiny Robot Learning: Challenges and Directions for Machine Learning in Resource-Constrained Robots.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in collaborating.

Why Human-robot Interaction(HRI) Conference?
Practitioners, researchers, university professors students from robotics, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, user experience, product design, psychology, ethics areas, gathered at IEEE-ROMAN 24 to explore new developments and future trends in Human-Robot Interaction(HRI).
In case you wonder why people are from diverse fields instead of just the computer science and engineering fields, human-robot interaction (HRI) ensures robots are easy to use, safe, and trustworthy for people. While technical aspects like coding, hardware, and AI make robots functional, HRI focuses on making them intuitive and effective for real-world human use. It improves collaboration, comfort, and safety, especially when robots work closely with humans in areas like healthcare, education, and everyday life.
The conference offered workshops and talks in these subfields:
- large language model(LLM such as ChatGPT) in robotics behavior designing and generation
- motion planning and navigation
- social impact and implications
- companion and social robot design
- socially assistive robotics
- autonomous robots
- Cooperation, Collaboration, and autonomy for human-robot teaming
- robots in education, healthcare, manufacturing, etc
- child robot interaction
In summary, exploring HRI lets you shape how people connect with robotics technology, making it more accessible and impactful.
Thank you again for attending IEEE RO-MAN 2024 and for your continued support. See you at our future event!
