Organizers

The workshop organization is supported by

• the IEEE/RAS TC on Algorithms for Planning and Control of Robot Motion

  • Marco Antonio Morales Aguirre (marco.morales -at- itam.mx)

  • This proposed workshop is supported by IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Algorithms for Planning and Control of Robot Motion as confirmed by the Technical Committee co-chairs Tsz-Chiu Au, Aleksandra Faust, Vadim Indelman, and Marco Morales

• the IEEE/RAS TC on Agricultural Robotics and Automation

  • Eldert J. van Henten (eldert.vanhenten - at- wur.nl)

  • The IEEE/RAS Technical Committee (TC) on Agricultural Robotics and Automation fully supports the proposal of the workshop entitled “Robotic environmental monitoring: challenges, opportunities, and novel advancements”, submitted to the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems 2021 (IROS 2021) by Dr. F. Angelini, Dr. R. Mengacci and Dr. M. Garabini of the University of Pisa, as its objectives and topics of interest are within the scopes of our TC, particularly environmental monitoring by robots.

• the IEEE/RAS TC on Computer & Robot Vision

  • Davide Scaramuzza (sdavide -at- ifi.uzh.ch)

  • As cochair of the IEEE/RAS Technical Committee (TC) on Computer and Robot Vision I endorse the workshop. This is a very relevant workshop in today’s world.

• the IEEE/RAS TC on Energy, Environment, and Safety Issues In Robotics and Automation

  • Tatsuo Arai (tarai118 -at- jcom.zaq.ne.jp)

  • The IEEE/RAS Technical Committee (TC) for Energy, Environment and Safety Issues in Robotics and Automation fully supports the proposal of the workshop entitled “Robotic environmental monitoring: Challenges and opportunities”, submitted to the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems 2021 (IROS 2021) by Dr. Franco Angelini, et al, as its objectives and topics of interest are within the scopes of our TC. Once approved, we will provide our possible support to make this workshop successful.

• the IEEE/RAS TC on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking of Robotics and Automation Systems

  • Fabio P. Bonsignorio (fabio.bonsignorio -at- gmail.com)

  • As Co-Chairs of the Technical Committee on Performance Engineering and Benchmarking of Robotics and Automation Systems of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society we strongly support the workshop on “Robotic environmental monitoring: challenges, opportunities, and novel advancements”. We warmly welcome the topics of the workshop as it is in line with our TC objectives.
