Hideo Hanafusa Outstanding Investigator Award

One individual will be selected biennially from those who have made significant contributions to the field of flexible automation. This award is open to all investigators working or having worked in the areas related to flexible automation. While we expect the awardee to be an active participant of the past symposium, this award is based not only on papers presented at the symposium but on contributions made elsewhere. Contributions may be technical or scientific publications, theses, patents, inventions, or combinations of the above in the field of automation.

The award will consist of a plaque and an honorarium in the amount of $2,000.
