ICRA Best Automation Paper
| About the award | |
|---|---|
| Description: | To encourage research in Automation by annually recognizing the Best Automation Paper at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) systems that operate autonomously in predictable environments over extended periods, or the explicit structuring of such environments. |
| Established: | 1997 |
| Prize: | $1,000 and Certificate. If two papers are deemed worthy, they will share the award equally. |
| Funding: | Funded by the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). |
| Eligibility: | Papers accepted to and presented at the ICRA conference. |
| Basis for judging: | Factors that will be considered are originality, depth, quality, presentation, and significance as related to automation, emphasizing efficiency, productivity, quality, and reliability, focusing on systems that operate autonomously in predictable environments over extended periods, or the explicit structuring of such environments. |
| Presentation: | Announced and presented at the annual IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. No award will be given if no qualified candidate is identified. |
