About the NRS Technical Committee

Neuro-Robotics Systems (NRS) is an interdisciplinary research area integrating neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence, with the goal of advancing intelligent, adaptive, and human-centered robotic systems.

The NRS Technical Committee promotes neuro-robotics as a core research area within IEEE-RAS by supporting cross-disciplinary collaboration and facilitating the dissemination of cutting-edge research through TC-led activities, including workshops, tutorials, and conference events.

Through the involvement of Student Representatives, the NRS TC aims to strengthen student participation, foster early-career leadership, and ensure the long-term vitality of neuro-robotics research within the IEEE-RAS community.
