To be eligible to serve as AE for T-RO, you must (1) have previously published in the IEEE Transactions on Robotics, (2) have previously served in some other editorial board position (e.g., the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, ICRA, IROS, etc.), and (3) be in a "permanent" position (e.g., not a student or a postdoc). To self-nominate, please <strong><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdh0nr2L4GEzVjdZBrq6KjiGdKG3_Xyx4m4sGw4QGjYYv4S0Q/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fill out this form</a>.</strong><br /> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Presenting Your Transactions on Robotics Paper at RAS-Sponsored or Co-sponsored Conferences such as ICRA, IROS, and CASE</strong></h2> <p>Any IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) paper, other than communication items and survey papers, may be presented at either an upcoming IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), an upcoming IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), or International Conference On Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), provided most of the key ideas of the paper have never appeared at a conference with published proceedings. For conference eligibility deadlines, see the RAS conference dates in the blue box above.</p> <p>Authors may not request any acceleration or delay of the review process based on these criteria.</p> <p>Upon final notification of acceptance, eligible papers will be offered an option to present at a conference in the author's workspace within the PaperCept platform. The prompt within the workspace will include an option to transfer the paper directly to conference organizers. Authors will have a window of one month to select and accept which conference they will present at. Authors are expected to pay the conference fee. Eligible papers may only be presented at one conference.</p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>Historically papers in the Transactions on Robotics have been either "evolutionary" papers (papers extended, with new results, from previously presented conference papers by the same authors) or "new" direct-to-journal papers (papers that are not evolved from conference papers).  Since the introduction of the Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), the robotics community has demonstrated strong support for direct-to-journal papers (maximum of eight pages) with the possibility of presentation at a conference.</p> <p>This IEEE RAS policy, adopted by AdCom in September 2017 and formalizing pilots of the policy at ICRA 2017 and 2018, provides a conference presentation option for "new" direct-to-journal T-RO papers.  Authors are no longer forced to write two versions of the paper (a short one for conference presentation and a longer one for the "final" journal version) if they want the work both to be presented at a conference and to appear in a journal.  This saves on author and reviewer effort, eliminates the confusion over which paper to cite, and reduces the stress on authors and reviewers arising due to submission deadlines for ICRA, IROS, or CASE. The new policy gives a new benefit to T-RO authors and brings high-quality T-RO papers to ICRA, IROS, or CASE without harming the traditional evolutionary model.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: helvetica;">IEEE Transactions on Robotics King-Sun Fu Memorial Best Paper Award</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2023: </span>"</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RACER: Rapid Collaborative Exploration with a Decentralized Multi-UAV System</span>"  <br /></span><span>by Boyu Zhou, Hao Xu, and Shaojie Shen</span> <br /></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">vol. 39, no. 3, pp. 1816-1835, June 2023, [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10038280" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</span></p> <div id="accordion" class="panel-group"> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div id="headingOne" class="panel-heading"> <h4 class="panel-title"><a href="#collapse2023" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion">Honorable Mention</a></h4> </div> <div id="collapse2023" class="panel-collapse collapse in"> <div class="panel-body"> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Global Planning for Contact-Rich Manipulation via Local Smoothing of Quasi-dynamic Contact Models" [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10225433" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Grasp it Like a Pro 2.0: A Data-Driven Approach Exploiting Basic Shapes Decomposition and Human Data for Grasping Unknown Objects" [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10169891" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Kinegami: Algorithmic Design of Compliant Kinematic Chains from Tubular Origami" [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9914656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"ANYexo 2.0: A Fully-Actuated Upper-Limb Exoskeleton for Manipulation and Joint-Oriented Training in all Stages of Rehabilitation" [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10008060" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Perceptive Locomotion through Nonlinear Model Predictive Control" [<a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10138309" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xplore Link</a>]</p> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2022: </span>"</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kimera-Multi: Robust, Distributed, Dense Metric-Semantic SLAM for Multi-Robot Systems</span>"  <br /></span><span>by Yulun Tian; Yun Chang; Fernando Herrera Arias; Carlos Nieto-Granda; Jonathan P.
