  5. Column for RAS Magazine: • TCs as AMPLIFIERS, not capacitors... • Associate VPs • TAB Charter • Duties of VPTA, TC Co-Chairs, DLs... • Explicit Procedure for Proposing new TCs • Explicit Procedure for Inviting DLs • TAB Database • Unified point of contact, Scope, member count, Technical Summaries VPTA 2006-2007: General

  6. New TC Co-Chairs, Retired Co-Chairs • TC's retired: Telerobotics • TC's created: Telerobotics, Haptics, Space Robotics, Motion Planning • Most Active TC Awards: Intelligent Transport Systems (06), Haptics (07) • More active role of TCs in ICRA: • Assigning, hosting sessions, reviewing workshops VPTA 2006-2007: TC Program

  7. Expanded DL program from 15 to 24 • Nine in under-represented areas • Appointed new DLs • Initiated "Public Lectures" for DLs • Created Most Active DL Award • Most Active DL and Most Active TC Awards approved by IEEE VPTA 2006-2007: DL Program

  8. Help with IEEE Society Review • Help with Conference Editorial Board • Help with T-ASE Review • Story on Automation in the IEEE Institute • Interview on Automation on CBS Radio • Panel on Future of Robot Operating Systems at ICRA 07 VPTA 2006-2007: External Relations

  9. Young Professionals Lunch • GOLD Lunch • Expanded to IROS • New RAS Field of Interest Statement VPTA 2006-2007: Most Recent

  10. New Field of Interest Statement The Society strives to advance innovation, education, and fundamental and applied research in Robotics and Automation. Robotics focuses on systems incorporating sensors and actuators that operate autonomously or semi-autonomously in cooperation with humans. Robotics research emphasizes intelligence and adaptability to cope with unstructured environments. Automation research emphasizes efficiency, productivity, quality, and reliability, focusing on systems that operate autonomously, often in structured environments over extended periods, and on the explicit structuring of such environments.

  11. Review of TAB Accomplishments: • 2006-2007 • Review of TCs and DLs, new FOI • Name Change for 2 TCS • Autonomous Ground Vehicles and ITS - Software Engineering • Technical Communities • Triennial TC Review Policy TAB Agenda

  12. PROPOSAL: Triennial Review Policy/Process for TCs by RAS VP of Technical Activities (VPTA) and Associate VPs (AVPs) RAS Bylaws require TCs to be reviewed every 3 years and considered for possible retirement. A rotation of the TCs will be initiated so that approximately one third of TCs are reviewed each year at ICRA.

  13. A. Expectations on TC Activity (1) Attendance of TC Co-Chairs (or representatives) at TAB meetings and GOLD lunches. (2) Update the TC website at least twice a year (3) Email/update to all members at least 4 times a year (4) At least one related technical papers session per year at ICRA, IROS, or CASE (5) New report (one PPT slide) at ICRA summarizing the key technological innovations each year. (6) Regular workshops or tutorials in major RAS conferences. (7) At least one major publication effort, such as a Survey paper, book, or Special Issue every 3 years.

  14. B. TC REVIEW POLICY (1) Evaluations will made every three years for renewal or retirement of each TC based on activity and future potential (2) No term limit for TCs, typically 6-9 years. (3) TC co-chairs must be RAS members, (4) Co-Chair term is three years; only one consecutive renewal allowed.

  15. C. TC TRIENNIAL REVIEW SCHEDULE • 3.5 months before ICRA: AVPs list TCs to be reviewed and determine who is responsible for which • 3 months before ICRA: request for review summary sent from the corresponding AVP to co-chairs of TCs to be reviewed • (3) 2 months before ICRA: review summary sent from co-chairs to correspoinding AVP; AVP asks for revision if necessary, especially if the decision is likely to be negative. • (4) all review summaries reviewed by Associate VPs • (5) 1 month before ICRA: recommendation for each TC sent from Associate VPs to VP • (6) ICRA: recommendations made to Adcomm

  16. D. TC TRIENNIAL REVIEW REPORT (under 3 pages) • Sent from TC Co-Chairs to AVP 2 Months before ICRA (final version will be posted on TAB website): • Honest assessment of TC over past 3 years, goals for next 3 years, and the feasibility of retiring the TC • (2) List of activities during past three years (which should include, but not limited to, the expected activities listed above) • (3) List of outreach activities outside the RAS • (4) List of important publications over past 3 years in TC area. • (5) number of members of each year in the past three years • (4) summary of top three technical innovations in the area during the past three years • (6) Recommendations (and alternates) for new co-chairs: • one from each primary region.

  17. Implement Triennial Review Policy/Process • Regular “TC spotlights” in RAM • DL Database • Increasing DL size, from 24 to 30+ • Birds of a Feather meetings • Open Source Wiki on Research Milestones • TC’s post list of related papers before ICRA • RAS website manages TC mailing lists, allow members to join easily. Goals: 2008-2009
