IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation Most Influential Paper Award
About the Award
Description: The award recognizes the most influential paper published in the Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in the five-years-window ranging from 22 to 18 years ago. ICRA has had major contributions in the technical field of robotics and automation from an early stage. Unlike the other RAS best paper awards that attempt to predict the future potential impact of a paper, this award looks back at the actual impact a paper has had.
Established: 2021
Prize: A laminated certificate for all individual authors, plus one ICRA Registration and up to $1000.00 in travel reimbursement in total to be invited to ICRA to receive the award. In the exceptional case that two papers are deemed worthy, the authors of each paper will receive laminated certificates, and one author from each paper will be eligible for ICRA Registration and travel reimbursement up to $1000.00. Travel reimbursement will follow IEEE Policies and Procedures.
Funding: Sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.
Eligibility: All papers published in the ICRA Proceedings in the five-years-window ranging from 22 to 18 years ago on IEEE Xplore are eligible. There are no restrictions as to IEEE membership, organization, nationality, race, creed, sex, or age. Eligibility and Selection process shall comply with procedures and regulation established in IEEE and Society/Council governing documents, particularly with IEEE Policy 4.4 on Awards Limitations. Previous award winners are not eligible.
Basis for Judging: Papers are judged based on strong impact within or outside of the Field, such as: Has been highly cited, Pioneered a research area, Led to important applications.
Presentation: The winner will be announced and presented at the annual IEEE ICRA conference.
