DESCRIPTION:Reading Session / Sesiwn Ddarllen\n\nThis session explores how 
 modern intelligent systems perceive\, act\, and adapt in imperfect real-wo
 rld conditions. We will look at how robots can reliably identify graspable
  objects even in highly cluttered environments. At the same time\, we will
  question what happens when technology fails\, ages\, or is repurposed by 
 its users. By combining perspectives from robotics and Human-Computer Inte
 raction (HCI)\, the session highlights both precision-driven automation an
 d human-centered adaptation. Expect a discussion that connects technical i
 nnovation with broader reflections on how we design\, use\, and sustain te
 chnology.\n\nA link to the two academic papers which will be discussed in 
 the session is provided below:\n\n-\n[Graspness Discovery in Clutters for 
 Fast and Accurate Grasp Detection](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/I
 CCV2021/papers/Wang_Graspness_Discovery_in_Clutters_for_Fast_and_Accurate_
 Grasp_Detection_ICCV_2021_paper.pdf): The first paper introduces an import
 ant novel concept\, “graspness\,” in robotic perception\, which has be
 en widely used in robotic manipulation research\, addressing a key limitat
 ion in grasp detection by identifying where robots should grasp in clutter
 ed scenes. By leveraging geometric cues and neural networks\, this work si
 gnificantly improves both the efficiency and accuracy of robotic manipulat
 ion systems.-\n\n- Presented by Yiming Li: [LinkedIn](https://eur03.safeli
