IEEE headquarters. We had introduced
digital membership with e-delivery of
fully formatted digital IEEE Robotics
& Automation Magazine and access
to IEEE Transactions on Robotics
and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering with
significantly reduced membership
fees. We have installed several new
systems, such as reorganization of
Distinguished Lecturer program to
make it more accessible and more
closely tied to technical and member
activities, a new RAS school program
that supports three schools per year,
increased standardization activities
with working groups for standard
for two-dimensional (2-D) map data

representation for navigation, a recommended practice to define an allencompassing glossary/ontology for
robotics and automation, and enhanced
student activities at conferences.
As of August 2011, RAS membership increased to 23% when compared
with August 2010, with a 58.4% increase of student members. This increase has been possible with the
dedicated work of all of the members
of the RAS boards and committees.
Especially, I would like to thank all of
the Executive Committee members,
vice president associates, student activity committee chair, AdCom members,
and friends for their strong encouragement and support for our activities.

Finally, I would
like to thank all of the Society members,
who are the real players for "advancing
innovation, education, and fundamental and applied research in robotics
and automation." Thank you very much
once again for your support and contributions to our Society.
