OUTLINE VP Actions TC Reports DL Program


VP Actions

Periodic reports in RAM December 2000 & March 2001

19 current TC’s 2 inactive TC’s discontinued

2 proposals for new TC’s Skills Transfer (George Lee) On-Line Robots (Ken Goldberg & Roland Siegwart)

Replacement of inactive Chairs Web sites

mandatory for all TC’s! sought adoption of uniform standard (e.g. DEDS) enhancement of portal concept (Service Robots)


VP Actions (cont’d)

Promotion of TC’s @ ICRA’01 info booth (present activities & recruite members)

TRA special issues Multi-Robot Systems published other proposals under review

Contribution to LRPC Restart Standards Committee after one or two

years form a Working Group on a strategic theme in

Robotics and Automation give substantial contributions to one or more of the

existing Working Groups within IEEE Standards
