Committee to Explore Synergies in Automation and Robotics (CESAR)

In the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, robotics and automation have always been siblings.They are similar in many ways and have substantial overlap in topics and research communities, but there are also differences– many RAS members view them as disjoint and consider themselves purely in robotics or purely in automation. This committee’s goal is to reconsider these perceptions and think about ways we can bring these communities closer.
