2008 RAS New Initiative Grants: Tentative CFP
from IEEE-RAS news
(2007/9/26 8:00)
|
As a result of a new IEEE policy, 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 approximately $90,000 to be available to support initiatives. We hope to be able to fund several initiatives in the range of $5000 to $24,900. While we cannot make a firm call for proposals at this time because IEEE will not approve our 2008 budget until mid-November, we are making a tentative preliminary call now because the time for proposal preparation after IEEE approves the 2008 budget will be too short. We do expect our budget to be approved. When it is, a final call for proposals will be issued to confirm what is contained in the Tentative Call for Proposals . Members are invited to submit proposals for initiative to the RAS administratorRosalyn Snyder r.g.snyder at ieee.org. In accordance with our Business Plan, proposals will be reviewed by the follo ...

The ICRA 2008 Robot Challenge
from IEEE-RAS news
(2007/9/18 8:00)
|
A new robot event is being introduced at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, starting at ICRA 2008. The event will consist of a number of specific challenges with the overall theme of "space robotics". Our goal is to make this competition accessible to all members of the ICRA community, to integrate it tightly with the technical aspects of the conference, and to encourage as many participants as possible to bring their robots and compete. We are currently working on finalizing the rules and the structure of the events, and are looking for input from the community. If you would like to contribute your opinions and experience to the discussion, please join the discussion mailing list . As the details of the Challenge solidify, they will be posted on the web site. To be informed of new developments, please join the the announcement mailing list .For more information, contact the Challenge Chairs Challenge ChairsBill Smart Department of Computer Science and Eng ...
