In an era where innovation doesn’t stop, the need for a supportive community for those in the early stages of their careers is more critical than ever. Recognizing this, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) presents the new Young Professionals (YPs) Committee. The committee aims to foster the growth and development of young engineers, scientists, and technical experts in the robotics and automation fields.

Celebrating four decades of innovation, the 2024 IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2024) emerges as a pivotal moment for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). This year, we gathered in the historic port city of Yokohama, Japan, under the theme “CONNECT+,” aiming to forge new relationships and collaborations across diverse fields. ICRA 2024 unites the global robotics community, highlighting innovations and addressing worldwide challenges.

From the earliest time to the present, humans have sought to extend their reach by designing new tools and gadgets. Weather balloons have been used for over 150 years to carry meteorologic instruments for weather prediction, storm forecasting, and climate change research. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, were initially developed as radio-controlled aircraft during the First World War. Nowadays, UAVs are used in agriculture, construction, insurance, and infrastructure inspection, and the commercial market of drones has been fast growing [1] . Drones are also very helpful in public sectors and have been used in search and rescue tasks, such as spotting a missing person in mountainous terrain or dropping a lifesaving vest to a person in danger of drowning at sea.

The 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2023) was held on 1–5 October at Huntington Place in Detroit, MI, USA ( Figure 1 ). With the COVID-19 pandemic shifting IROS 2020 entirely to the on-demand format, this was the first in-person IROS in North America in six years. The long-term impact of the pandemic also meant that it was the first in-person conference of any kind for many of the student attendees. IROS 2023’s theme, “The Next Generation of Robotics,” reinforced the importance of these students within the IROS community, so we made the conscious effort to prioritize the in-person experience for those among the more than 3,600 attendees from 53 countries and regions who were able to join us in person in Detroit.

Technologies can change our moral beliefs and practices. They can change both how we perceive and understand what is good and worth pursuing and what is right and worth doing. A classic example is the debate about technology and the value of privacy. Some argue that the prevalence of surveillance technology, combined with the allure of convenient digital services, has rendered this value close to obsolete. (A classic text on this would be [1] . A more recent one would be [2] .) Others think that the technological pressure placed on the value of privacy means that it is more precious than ever and that we must do everything we can to preserve it (for example, [3] ).

Queer individuals face significant obstacles in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and computing, including high levels of harassment and professional limitations [1] , but only some of these STEM fields have been recently promoting the integration and welcoming of people with queer identities to increase representation and inclusion. ( Queer is used here as an umbrella term for those who do not identify as heterosexual or cisgender, often labeled the LGBTQIA+ community.) This situation drove the creation of organizations like Queer in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Queer in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) that study and monitor the inclusion of queer people and provide safe and welcoming spaces within their respective scientific communities. Initial studies performed by these organizations found areas for their fields to improve. Queer in HCI studies indicated that queer people face significant pressures and barriers not experienced by all HCI researchers [2] . Queer in AI demographic surveys showed that 67% of the group’s members faced at least one safety incident in 2021, 79.9% of its members reported mental health issues that impaired their ability to conduct research, and 77.4% of its members struggled with a lack of community that they could rely on [3] . Other challenges include inaccessibility to conferences, due to local discrimination toward queer people; lack of tailored academic support; inflexible name change policies; and lack of representation [4] . Both Queer in AI and Queer in HCI have shed light on these issues while increasing the level of involvement and feeling of belonging of the queer communities in their respective research fields, benefits that we would like to see extended to the robotics community.
