• IEEE RAS Technical Committees.
  RAS Technical Committees are initiated to grow research in a new topic or re-energize research in an established topic related to Robotics and Automation. RAS Technical Committees are expected to retire after 6-9 years as their topic becomes established to make room for new TCs. To join a TC, email the Corresponding Co-Chair.

• IEEE RAS Distinguished Lecturers.
  The Distinguished Lecturer Program promotes the field of Robotics and Automation to the broad engineering community and to the public at large. Twenty-Four DLs are appointed, eight per geographic region (Asian and Pacific, Europe, Americas).
