About us

The IEEE Tunisia RAS Chapter is established in May 2009. It assembles 1 Senior Member, 4 Members, 11 Graduate Student Members, and 3 Student Members (Statistics by May 2011).

The Society is interested in both applied and theoretical issues in robotics and automation. Robotics is here defined to include intelligent machines and systems used, for example, in space exploration, human services, or manufacturing; whereas automation includes the use of automated methods in various applications, for example, factory, office, home, laboratory automation, or transportation systems to improve performance and productivity.

Promote robotics in Tunisia

Robotics and Automation involves designing and implementing intelligent machines which can do work too dirty, too dangerous, too precise or too tedious for humans. It also pushes the boundary on the level of intelligence and capability for many forms of autonomous, semi-autonomous and teleoperated machines. Intelligent machines have applications in medicine, defence, space and underwater exploration, service industries, disaster relief, manufacturing and assembly and entertainment.
