Several M3S researchers actively contributed to the ICLR 2025 Conference and its associated workshops, showcasing cutting-edge advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The strong engagement at ICLR underscores M3S’s growing presence on the global AI research stage and its commitment to advancing responsible, high-impact AI innovation.

The M3S booth at the RoboSG exhibition, organized by the National Robotics Program on March 14-15, showcased our latest advancements in robotics. A key highlight was the soft robotic arm prototype, accompanied by an informative video demonstrating its capabilities and potential applications.

The first day of the exhibition was dedicated to industry partners, providing an opportunity for networking, collaboration, and discussions on future technological developments.

The second day was open to the public, where visitors, including students, researchers, and tech enthusiasts, engaged with the display and expressed keen interest in the innovative robotic technology. The event successfully raised awareness about M3S’s contributions to the robotics field and fostered meaningful interactions with both industry professionals and the broader community.

M3S collarborate with Mendaki to held the AI Literacy Tutor Training Workshop. This workshop training and focused on providing participants with foundational AI Literacy  skills, which entail educating participants on the responsible, ethical and productive use of AI  technology, including:   

• Understanding how AI-powered technologies operate and what their applications are  

• Employing AI technologies to promote creative discovery, discussion, and critical thinking   

• Presenting the drawbacks and possibilities, challenges and opportunities of AI technology  

• Exploring the societal and ethical impacts of AI

M3S fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing with the community and industry and through engagements with external guests. M3S have the privilege of hosting several distinguished visitors, including CEO, Executive Director from the National Research Foundation (NRF), the SMART Governing Board, and various local agencies. 

In addition to welcoming guests to M3S, the team has also visited these agencies at their offices to share insights into the work, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations.

Internally, M3S prioritize similar knowledge-sharing initiatives through regular discussions, technical seminars, and collaborative sessions. These interactions not only enhance our collective expertise but also provide valuable opportunities to socialize, build stronger professional relationships, and appreciate diverse cultural perspectives within our multidisciplinary community.

M3S team is definitely pushing boundaries and paving the way for technological advancements!

The SMART Governing Board visited M3S on Jan 2025, where the team had the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge research. The visit featured an engaging poster presentation highlighting key projects, as well as live demonstrations of innovative prototypes and technologies currently under development.

IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024) provided an incredible platform for us to host the M3S Forum, bringing together experts from around the world to exchange insights on how AI is reshaping the future of work and education. The event saw attendance by researchers, academics and industry professionals worldwide, including professors and researchers from SMART, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and other leading institutions. The forum explored key themes shaping the integration of AI and robotics across various sectors, envisioning a future where AI and robotics can elevate human potential while sustaining an inclusive and productive workforce.
