The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) is a professional society of the IEEE that provides publications, conferences, community networking, and many other benefits to members within the fields of Robotics and Automation. 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. RAS membership enables you to stay current within your chosen technology profession, to keep in touch with your peers, and to invest in your career and profession. The chapter’s goal is to provide the students with enough knowledge and skills in robotics and automation fields, which are not covered in the university. It aims to prepare effective and professional teams to participate in international competitions. Moreover, on the long term, the chapter will have students who can make research and contribute in the new technology of this field.
