First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis
for Robotics (PIES-Rob)
To be held in conjunction with 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2023) .
October 1st, 2023 - Huntington Place Room 251A
Promoting the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments for research purposes.
UPDATE - We have a limited number of free registrations we can offer to students or others who can demonstrate need. Contact Nick Gans (ngans@uta.edu) to enquire.
Mission of the Workshop
The First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Robotics (PIES-Rob) will engage experts and researchers on the synthesis of photo-realistic images and virtual environments, particularly in the form of public datasets, software tools, or infrastructures, for robotics research. Such public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures will lower entry barriers by enabling researchers that lack expensive hardware (e.g., complex camera systems, robots, autonomous vehicles, etc.) to simulate and create datasets representative of such hardware and scenarios.
PIES-Rob will be a full-day workshop. It will feature a mix of presentations, open panel discussions, and an invited poster session. There will be eight invited speakers and a keynote speaker to discuss their related research, thoughts, and experiences on the needs and directions of creating public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures for synthesizing photorealistic images and environments.
Workshop Schedule
This is a near-final schedule of talks and activities. Some minor changes may occur as we get closer to IROS 2023.
