Robotics and Automation

While not solely focused on robotics, AAAI is a leading organization in the field of artificial intelligence and includes a robotics track.

Since 1972, AUVSI has advanced uncrewed systems by supporting innovation, shaping policy, and fostering collaboration. Its mission is to promote safe, efficient use of autonomous technologies through industry connection, market development, public communication, and policy advocacy for lasting economic and social benefit. $30 annual student membership.

Promotes innovation, education, and research in robotics and automation, emphasizing intelligent, adaptable robots for unstructured environments. Automation research focuses on efficient, reliable systems operating autonomously in structured settings, enhancing productivity and quality over extended periods.

Members come from the robotics industry, national or international industry associations and research & development institutes. The federation directly represents over 90 members from more than 20 countries.

A non-profit professional association of engineers, technicians, and management engaged in industrial automation. As the globally trusted provider of foundational standards-based technical resources for the profession, ISA strives to build a better world through automation.

Mission: "To create a human, technical, and programmatic resource of robotics capabilities to enable the implementation of future robotic space exploration missions."

The global leader in developing and deploying highly mobile robots capable of tackling industry's toughest challenges.

The Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory at MIT focuses on designing and controlling robots using insights taken from the natural world. Many animals can display incredible feats of speed and agility that are sources of inspiration for the robots designed by the group.

NREC develops and matures robotics technologies and solutions from concept to commercialization. NREC also leads in educational outreach through its Robotics Academy, which creates robotics curricula and software for K-12 and college-level students.

a non-profit online communication platform that brings together experts in robotics research, start-ups, business, and education from across the globe. Robohub's mission is to connect the robotics community to the rest of the world.

The Robotics and Autonomous Systems Laboratory (RASL) provides dedicated workspaces for large unmanned system development and state-of-the-art sensors designed for integration on existing large-scale platforms for air, ground, and maritime domains. The laboratory is designed to accommodate for the needs of sense and avoid, swarms of cooperative autonomous and/or unmanned vehicles, and control scheme development for large platforms.
