Being elected as the president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) is a tremendous honor, and I express my gratitude to those who have bestowed their trust upon me. RAS stands as a robust and energetic society, supporting 78 international conferences and maintaining 18 IEEE peer-reviewed journals. Our society’s strength lies in the collective efforts of its members. This success is a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines RAS. I extend my sincere thanks to every member who contributes and has contributed to this thriving ecosystem. I wish to warmly thank Frank Park for his services to the society as RAS president in 2022 to 2023.
