One of the Dedicated Conferences is on: Robotics, Motion and Machine Vision Programme Committee Chairman: Mr Peter Cencik, Vision Specialist, Adept Technology Inc, USA Robotics, motion control and machine vision play a vital role in any manufacturi ng. Historically, the automotive and transportation industry in general has been the driving force for this technology. The objective of this conference is to bring academic and manufacturing professionals from robotics and machine vision fields together, to create bridges between robotics and machine vision, and to support interaction between academia and manufacturing. Dedicated to practical industria l applications and existing products, this conference will also focus on economic viability and performance optimization, highlighting important areas such as speed, accuracy, software and hardware cost and engineering and maintenance time . Key topics will include: Vision Inspection and Prototyping, Integrated Sensors, Mobile Robots and Autonomous Vehicles, Motion Control and Object Tracking. A paper title and a summary of 100-150 words "in English" should be submitted to the Secretariat before 31 March 1995. Draft manuscripts for refereeing are due by 28 April 1995 and final manuscripts for inclusion in the conference proceedings MUST be received by 16 June 1995 at the latest date.
