The RA-L Best Paper Award is given to excellent papers amongst robotics papers printed over the 12 months, based mostly on a complete analysis of their educational contribution, technical originality, experimental completeness, and future applicability. The analysis team was chosen for the award for proposing self-wearing adaptive clothes know-how that makes use of gentle robotics in order that clothes routinely unfold over the person’s physique to help with dressing. The paper was printed on November 19 final 12 months in ‘IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.’
