Creation of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee for Wearable Robotics

The LISSI laboratory is a founding member of the Wearable Robotics technical committee within the IEEE RAS (Robotics and Automation Society). This technical committee, of which our colleague Samer Mohammed is General Chair, started its activities last May 2016 at the IEEE ICRA 2016 conference. The main mission of this committee is to initiate, animate and disseminate scientific activities within of the global robotics community working in the field of portable robots.

Obtaining two prizes following the publication of the IEEE P1872-2015 standard

Two prizes were awarded following the publication by the WG ORA of the IEEE standard P1872-2015 (Standard Ontologies for Robotics and Automation):
- Certification of Appreciation Award, awarded in 2015 by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS).
- IEEE-SA Emerging Technology Award, awarded in 2015 by the IEEE Standards Association.

The IEEE P1872-2015 standard, to which the SIRIUS team contributed, was cited in 2016 in the White House (USA) document "The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan" (page 32).

"One example of an AI-relevant standard that has been developed is P1872-2015 (Standard Ontologies for Robotics and Automation), developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This standard provides a systematic way of representing knowledge and a common set of terms and definitions. These allow for unambiguous knowledge transfer among humans, robots, and other artificial systems, as well as provide a foundational basis for the application of AI technologies to robotics."
