The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) wants to encourage students to play an active role in existing robotics standardization efforts. IEEE-RAS has a number of approved and active standardization efforts, which you can read about here. We set aside funds yearly to provide travel support to students interested in attending our major flagship conferences. This is an amazing opportunity for students to take part in the numerous IEEE robotics standardization meetings.
We are proud to award 3 travel grants to cover flights, hotel reservations, and conference registration within the IEEE guidelines and not to exceed $3,000 each. Priority will be given to students that would not have otherwise attended said conference (e.g., do not have a paper accepted), and priority will also be given to undergraduate students. You do not need to be an IEEE member to apply. Complimentary IEEE and RAS memberships will be included in the award.
Selected students will be expected to participate in the full-day standards coordination meeting (if scheduled) as well as in least one standards working group meeting. They will also be required to write a 2-3 page report, submitted to IEEE-RAS, describing their experiences at the conference and how they expect to use what they learned in the future.
