Women in Robotics Update: Maja Mataric, Arianna Menciassi

Robohub

Introducing the second of our new series of Women in Robotics Updates, featuring Maja Mataric and Arianna Menciassi from our first "25 women in robotics you need to know about" list in 2013. Since we started Women in Robotics has focused on positive role models in robotics, highlighting women's career work, but we'd like to point out just how much energy that these amazing women extend to outreach, to inspiring and supporting their junior colleagues and to science management, supporting and advancing the increasingly complex machinery of research. For example, Ariana Menciasi has held many editorial and technical committee roles, and manages both European and extra-European research projects, which involves extensive collaboration efforts. And Maja Mataric started the US Women in Robotics Research Database, which inspired similar initiatives in Canada, with the goal that you should always be able to find a female robotics researcher for interviews, positions, panels and conferences. There are 180 more stories on our 2013 to 2020 lists.
