  • 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.

We encourage enthusiastic and qualified individuals to participate in shaping the future of robotics and automation through TC leadership. Your contributions are vital to maintaining the dynamism and relevance of our technical communities.

We’d like to inform you that, according to the Bylaws effective from August 2022, the TC Co-Chair term follows a 3-year term, renewable up to 2 terms (6 years). The information has been corrected and updated in the TC Status Database. We apologize for the oversight.

You can also apply for the Associate Co-Chair position. Please contact the corresponding TC Co-Chair directly for more details.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to RAS.

Sincerely,
Hugo Rodrigue
