简介
新加坡机器人学专业协会是自2008年发起的一个民间非赢利专业团体。它的宗旨是联络对机器人学感兴趣的各阶层专业人士,学者和学生。它的功能是促进机器人在新加坡的教育,教学,娱乐,保健,护理,工业自动化,国防现代化,以及其它领域的推广和运用。在新加坡的两所大学,五所理工学院,以及众多的技工学校,都有大量的机器人爱好者。另外,新加坡的中小学也有无数的机器人俱乐部。毫无疑问,机器人將是继汽车之后,人们最为向往和最追崇的新消费品。至今,新加坡机器人学专业协会已经吸引了上千专业人士的关注。它正在逐步吸纳有潜能的会员。

Mission:
Robotics Society of Singapore is a professional, and not-for-profit, body with the mission of:
1. Fostering friendship and interaction among the robot-centric individuals in Singapore
2. Synergizing robotics innovation and enterprising in Singapore
3. Facilitating the acquisition of robotics knowledge and science in Singapore
4. Supporting robotics education, and training in Singapore.
Vision:
We believe that robots will be the most advanced creatures of human beings on Earth, which offer a wide range of robot-related products and services for the economic growth in Singapore and beyond.
On the other hand, robotics is a unique discipline which bridges over science and engineering and also offers a new horizon for the gifted minds to anchor in the endeavor of undertaking new discovery in science and new invention in engineering.
History:
The discussion on the setup of the Robotics Society of Singapore was triggered by the invitation from Professor Tomomasa Kato, President of Robotics Society of Japan, to Prof. Xie Ming. In the invitation, Prof. Xie Ming has been invited to represent Singapore to participate to the annual meeting under the name of Asian Robotics Society Summit. With the help from James Lee and Xu Jin, the scope and vision for Robotics Society of Singapore have been drafted. And, we position ourselves as a professional, and not-for-profit, body which aims at nurturing friendship and promoting robotics among those corporations and individuals who believe that robots will be a big thing to come, to play, and to contribute to the mankind and the modern society.
