Ruzena Bajcsy Presented
with the 2013 IEEE Robotics
and Automation Award
uring the IEEE International
Robotics and Automation
Conference (ICRA) in Karlsruhe, Germany, Ruzena
Bajcsy was presented with the 2013
IEEE Robotics and Automation Award
"for contributions to computer vision,
the active perception paradigm, and
medical robotics" (Figure 1).
A driving force in the field of robotics for over three decades, Ruzena Bajcsy's pioneering work on machine vision
and perception has helped robots to
achieve humanlike performance.
During the 1980s, she was the first to
recognize that active perception was
needed to improve computer vision/
information acquisition. Active perception enables mobile robots to actively
control camera positions and other
image acquisition conditions. Bajcsy's
landmark work on computer vision also
includes modeling of deformable
objects, elastic model matching, and
visual hyperacuity, which has had
important implications for medical
robotics and imaging. Bajcsy founded
the General Robotics, Automation,
Sensing, and Perception Laboratory in
1978 at the University of Pennsylvania.
In 1998, she became the first woman to
lead the National Science Foundation's
Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering.

An IEEE Fellow, Bajcsy is the NEC
Chair Professor with the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences at the University of California,
Berkeley.
The IEEE Robotics and Automation Award was established in 2002
by the IEEE Board of Directors and is
presented for contributions in the
field of robotics and automation. It
includes but is not limited to manufacturing automation, robotics and
automation in unstructured environments, sensor design, integration and
fusion, robot design, modeling, plan-

ning and control, methodologies for
robotics and automation, and the
quality of the nomination.
