RAS Values

Robots and Sustainability

With conference attendance up nearly 300% and over 70 global events, IEEE RAS is cutting event waste, mandating hybrid options for major conferences like ICRA and IROS, and promoting local satellite events to reduce its CO₂ footprint. But sustainability in robotics and automation begins with design choices. The RAS Sustainability Awards promote sustainable design and technology use in robotics and automation.
