I have been an Associate Editor (1994-1998), an Editor (1998-2003), and the Editor-in-Chief (2003-2004) of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation (T-RA). I became then the Editor-in-Chief of the renamed IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) for five years (2003-2008). Submissions to T-RO opened on October 1, 2003, the first issue appeared in August 2004, and my term as EiC ended on September 30, 2008.
Close to the end of my 15-year long editorial activity, we organized a farewell dinner in conjunction to IROS 2008 in Nice on September 25, 2008. Here are some pictures of that evening.
The five current T-RO Editors, with the new and past T-RO Editor-in-Chief. From left to right:
Kevin Lynch, Jean-Paul Laumond, Seth Hutchinson (EiC), me, Lynne Parker, Wan Kyun Chung, and Frank Park.
The two other Editors I worked with in the last five years (Ian Walker and Hirohiko Arai) could not attend.
Seth and myself, "brothers in arms".
Very honored by the present, and quite embarrassed...
