RA-L Paper Awards
Each year, the RA-L Senior Volunteers (EiC, Deputy EiC, and Senior Editors) nominate and vote for the Best Paper(s) published online in the previous calendar year. The announcements are made at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation awards event. The winners and honorable mentions of the “RA-L Best Paper Award” for each previous year are listed below.
