The International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2020) is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s (RAS) flagship conference and the premier international forum for robotics researchers to present and discuss their work.
According to ICRA 2020, creating a world class technical program for ICRA requires the contributions of many. For that, IEEE RAS recognizes individuals who provide outstanding contributions to the Conference Editorial Board.
And it gives us great pleasure to affirm that our own Prof. Jee-Hwan Ryu has been conferred with the Outstanding Reviewer Award at ICRA 2020. This award repesents going over and beyond what is typically expected from an associate editor (ICRA 2020 Awards ceremony highlights).
