Congratulations to Daniela Rus, Recipient
of the 2023 IEEE Robotics and Automation
Technical Field Award
Rus Made the Design of Distributed Noisy Networked Robot Systems More
Efficient, An Essential Step in the Controllability of Fleets of Autonomous Vehicles
The IEEE Robotics and Automation
Society is most pleased to announce
that Daniela Rus has been selected as
the recipient of the prestigious 2023
IEEE Robotics and Automation
Award. Rus
was selected " for pioneering
contributions to
the design, realization,
and theoretical foundations
of innovative distributed,
networked
autonomous systems. "
Rus will receive the
award at the 2023 IEEE
International Conference
on Robotics and
Automation (ICRA),
which will be held in
London from 29 May-2 June 2023.
Daniela Rus has made fundamental
contributions to the science and engineering
of autonomy, with a special focus
on robotic interactions. Her work is
enabling a future in which machines are

"
HER WORK IS
ENABLING A FUTURE
IN WHICH MACHINES
ARE PERVASIVELY
INTEGRATED INTO
THE FABRIC OF LIFE.
„
pervasively integrated into the fabric
of life. She has significantly advanced
the ability of machines to reason,
learn, and adapt to complex tasks in
human-centered envi
ronments. The applications
of her work
include transportation,
manufacturing, agriculture,
underwater exploration,
smart cities,
and in-home tasks like
cooking. Her recent
work focused on computational
design and fabrication
of robots as well
as safe learning-based
control for adaptation
to changing conditions
place her at the leading edge of
her field.
