Workshop Overview
POSTECH will host an independent international workshop titled “The Role of Haptics in Teleoperation for Contact-Rich Dexterous Manipulation”, from July 14-15, 2025, in Pohang, Korea—immediately following WHC 2025.
By leveraging haptic technologies, teleoperation enables robots to perform contact-rich tasks with the delicacy and precision of human hands. This exclusive event will host leading experts to explore how such technologies support skillful manipulation through tactile feedback and force control, with the ultimate goal of transferring those skills to autonomous robotic systems.
