The full name of IEEE is the Institute of electrical and electronic engineers. It is committed to the development and research of electrical, electronic, computer engineering and science related fields. IEEE is the world's authoritative standard setting organization. It has formulated more than 900 industry standards in the fields of aerospace, information technology, power and consumer electronic products. Nearly 1600 effective standards and 600 standards are under development. Each year, the technical literature published in the field of electrical electronics and computer science accounts for about one third of the world's similar literature. At the same time, more than 140 professional technical journals in the fields of electrical engineering, communication, computer theory and methods are collected and published. More than 1800 professional and technical meetings are held in the world every year. As one of the largest professional and technical organizations in the world (number of members), it has more than 400000 members in more than 160 countries. Among the 430000 IEEE members in the world, only 8% of them are senior members. It can be seen that the senior members of IEEE highly recognize the academic attainments of the candidates and their contributions to the development of global power technology. Only those who have made some achievements in research or engineering technology can obtain the senior membership of IEEE only after passing the strict audit of IEEE Review Committee

• Candidates must be engineers, scientists, teachers, technical directors or inventors in relevant fields of IEEE;
• Ten years of experience and five years of outstanding performance is necessary.

Tin Lun Lam, a senior member of IEEE, is an assistant professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and deputy director of RAIL. In 2006 and 2010, he received his bachelor's degree in engineering with first class honors and a doctorate in automation and computer aided engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Professor LAM's research focuses on soft robots, multi robot systems and human-computer interaction. He has rich experience in the development of robots and automation systems, such as telepresence robots, unmanned sea vehicles, tree climbing robots, four-wheel independent steering and driving vehicles, industrial 6-axis robot arm systems, rescue robots, home service robots and teaching robots.

He has extensive experience in the development of robotics and automation systems, and his research results have also appeared in many popular media, including Reuters, discovery channel, Forbes, wired and IEEE spectrum. He has obtained more than 50 patents, published 2 monographs, 6 international journal papers and nearly 30 international top journal papers. One of the journal papers won the IEEE / ASME t-mech Best Paper Award in 2011. Professor LAM also serves as co chair and reviewer of major international journals and conference papers in the field of robotics and automation such as TRO, JFR, ICRA and IROS.
