Science Needs Diversity, Robotics Needs Diversity: Fostering a Culture of Inclusion [From the Editor’s Desk]

June 24, 2025 by Yi Guo

Robotics is a highly interdisciplinary field. Not only do we need mechanical and electrical engineers to build and control a robot, but we also require computer scientists to program it, materials scientists to improve the endurance and adaptability, biologists to inspire designs based on nature systems, and many others from diverse disciplines. We need diverse groups of people with diverse expertise to advance robotics. As pointed out in [1], “promoting diversity and inclusion within research teams is not merely a moral imperative; it is a catalyst for facilitating cutting-edge research and accelerating progress in the field of robotics.”
