Following the first nomination round, a few Technical Committees (TCs) still have open positions for TC Co-Chairs. We are therefore opening a second call for nominations for the following TCs:

  • TC on Automation in Healthcare Management – 2 openings
  • TC on Performance Evaluation & Benchmarking – 2 openings
  • TC on Safety, Security & Rescue Robotics – 3 openings

We invite nominations from the RAS community. Self-nominations are also welcome.

If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else, please submit the required information via the nomination form and include a Statement of Purpose.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to RAS.

Sincerely,
Hugo Rodrigue
