Greetings From the 2022 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society President [President’s Message]

As I write my first editorial and reflect on past President Seth Hutchinson’s observation that we are in the middle of several inflection points in history, I can’t help but wonder where we will be in March when this article comes to press. To observe that we are still living in very trying times is now a tired cliché, and yet it’s hard to suppress the optimism that perhaps, just possibly, 2022 could finally be the year we return to some semblance of normal.
