Figure 3. Stefano Stramigioli reports highlights from the discussion in his group.

Figure 4. Laura Margheri, Kyu Jin Cho, Atsushi Yakahita, and Ramode Abichandani discuss
the relationship between academia and industry relative to RAS.

3) Events should be reformatted so that
information can easily be disseminated outside of academia.
4) The RAS should collaborate with
other organizations to extend the
leadership and the reach of the RAS.
5) The RAS should create new positions for young professionals to
increase volunteer participation and
enthusiasm.
6) The RAS should promote robotics
and the Society to governments to
open a dialogue about technology
roadmaps, solving common regulation issues and existing barriers.
These items will be further discussed
by the Long Range Planning Committee
and the corresponding RAS boards to
determine further plans for action. I
believe our leadership will significantly
contribute to the future of robotics and
automation and accelerate social change
for humanity using robotics.
I deeply appreciate the excellent participants at the meeting and thank the
IEEE staff, especially Randi S. Sumner,
and the IEEE Technical Activities
Board who facilitated the meeting.

2014 IEEE-RAS International
Conference on Humanoid Robots
By Concepción A. Monje and Carlos Balaguer

F

or the first time, the 14th edition
of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) International Conference on Humanoid
Robots (Humanoids 2014) was held in
Madrid, Spain during 18-20 November
2014 (www.humanoids2014.com). The
conference was organized by the University Carlos III of Madrid. Prof. Carlos

Balaguer was the general chair of the
conference. This conference is held annually alternating among America, Asia,
and Europe. The last two conferences
were in Osaka (2012) and Atlanta (2013),
and the next one will be held in Seoul,
South Korea. Over time, this event has
become the most relevant conference on
humaniods in the RAS community.
The conference theme was "humans
and robots face to face" (Figure 1), confirming the growing interest in the field

of human-humanoid interaction. Currently, significant research efforts are
devoted to the cooperation between
humans and robots when dealing with
the execution of daily activities in real
environments. Out of these activities,
emphasis is placed on scenarios that
include health care, assistance for
elderly and disabled people, home and
office tasks, and industrial environments (construction, manufacturing,
and aeronautics, among others).
