In a wide ranging interview with the University of Twente News, IEEE Robotics and Automation Editor Stefano Stramigioli describes the current realities and future opportunities for robotics_____ "High up on the eighth floor of the Hoogkamp building, professor Stefano Stramigioli can often be seen moving around on a Segwey purchased by Professor Regtien for the TEAM project. This personal transportation device, not yet approved for Dutch roadways, moves according to a users own body movements. This is the home of the faculty of Advanced Robotics, the nesting ground of UT's visionaries, who toil to build a fully-functional humanoid robot, capable of working together with humans. Stamigioli says, `For a roboticist— one of the dreams is to build the most complex machine there is— to try to copy the human.' "-- --MORE--

RAS 2008 New Initiative Proposals Due Friday February 15
from IEEE-RAS news
(2008/2/11 8:00)
|
Proposals for 2008 RAS Initiative Grants must be received by the RAS Administrator by Friday, February 15.As a result of a new IEEE policy established in 2007, the Robotics and Automation Society anticipates being able to use some of its 2008 budget to fund a modest number of initiatives that would benefit society members in general. We expect a maximum of $60,000 to be available to support initiatives. We hope to be able to fund several initiatives in the range of $5000 to $24900.

IEEE Women in Engineering (IEEE WIE) Magazine, a new publication that will be issued twice a year to IEEE WIE members, has launched its premiere issue. The publication, sent as an interactive PDF file which enables easy navigation through the different sections of the magazine, aims to help attract, retain and sustain women in the engineering and science fields. Its articles integrate engineering subjects with current issues facing society including careers, health care, medicine, law, governance and women’s issues. A print edition will be produced for distribution at symposiums and other events throughout the year. IEEE WIE currently has more than 12,000 members worldwide, with over 176 affinity groups – the largest international professional organization dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists. Karen Panetta, 2008 IEEE Women in Engineering Committee chair, serves as editor-in-chief. View the publication at www.ieee.org/committee/women/13350.pdf.WIE Magazine

CFP: Scientific Workflow Management and Applications
from IEEE-RAS news
(2007/12/4 8:00)
|
Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering Call for Papers cientific workflow is a new special type of workflow that often underlies many large-scale complex e-science applications such as climate modeling, structural biology and chemistry, medical surgery or disaster recovery simulation. Compared with business workflows, scientific workflow has special features such as computation, data or transaction intensity, less human interaction, and a large number of activities. Some emerging computing infrastructures such as grid computing with powerful computing and resource sharing capabilities present the potential for accommodating those special features. Submission Deadline: March 31, 2008 For details see: http://www.swinflow.org/si/t-ase.htm .
