Technical Committees

Technical Committees (TC) focus on the research content of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society by tracking technical developments and encouraging innovation in: applications, theory, models, metrics, experiments, architectures, products, initiatives, and other technical areas.

With 45 Technical Committees, research in specific areas is encouraged. New Technical Committees are added as a topic area is grows, becomes increasingly relevant, sufficiently outside the scope of existing TCs.

Technical Committees are an important benefit of membership, allowing for further collaboration and communication within subsets of the field.

Technical Committee Volunteers can access further information here: Technical Committee Resources.

Technical CommunityTechnical Communities

For successful TCs with well-established communities and either a related RAS Conference of Journal, they can apply to become a Technical Community. This will provide them with a mechanism for further growth, improved visibility, and support from RAS.

TCs that have a conference and/or journal that is at least 50% RAS can be considered to become a Technical Community. This means that they will receive an additional 20% of their conference surplus or an additional 2k, whichever is more.

Growing and Active TCs can apply to become a Blue Ribbon TC. This will provide them with a mechanism for further growth, improved visibility, and support from RAS. TCs that do not have a conference/journal can be considered to become an ‘Blue Ribbon TC’ which means they can be awarded an extra 2k.
