New Technical Committees

T

he IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Administrative Committee approved the
following three new technical committees (TCs) in September 2014.

TC on Cognitive Robotics
There is a growing need for robots that
can interact safely with people in everyday
situations. To be safe and effective, these
robots have to be able to anticipate the effects of their own actions as well as the actions and needs of the people around
them. Two streams of research need to
merge to achieve this, one concerned with
physical systems that can interact with unconstrained environments and
a second focusThe TC aims to
ing on control
identify and track the
architectures
that explicitly
common problems,
consider the
characteristics, and
need to acquire
and use experiachievements of MRS

ing of these two
areas has
brought about
the field of cognitive robotics, a multidisciplinary science that draws on research in
adaptive robotics as well as cognitive science and artificial intelligence, often exploiting models based on biological
cognition. The TC's main goals are to foster links between these disciplines and to
establish and promote the methodologies
and tools required to make the field of
