Abstract :
One year has already passed since I started to serve as the president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). I am writing this column in December, and I am very happy to report that our Society has been continuously growing. By the end of January 2011, our Society had a total of 8,102 members, which is an increase of 12.9% compared to that in January 2010, the highest percentage membership increase among the IEEE Societies.
