IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine - September 2022 - 6

news is inspiring to young women
who pursue careers in the science and
engineering field. As Klara stated in a
fireside chat at the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign [3], " It's
hard for female researchers for many
reasons-expectations and pressures
imparted on us by those around us.
But to know you have a support network
there to encourage you and support
you,
that can help a young
woman develop so much confidence. "
I hope that our RAS-WiE network
can provide such support and encouragement
for women robotics
researchers to pursue a successful
career in the field that is largely dominated
by men. We need more exciting
news like this, so that we make real
progress in fixing gender bias in science
and robotics.
At this ICRA, we announced the
seventh RAM Best Paper award. The
awarded paper " Building an Aerial-
Ground Robotics System for Precision
Farming: An Adaptable Solution, " by
Alberto Pretto et al., was published in
the September 2021 issue of RAM. We
congratulate all the authors on this
achievement.
This September issue is a regular
issue that contains 10 featured articles
on space robotics, exoskeletal robots
for rehabilitation, soft robotics, and
cable-driven robots. I hope you enjoy
reading the issue!
