Main Theme:

Advanced Robot Technology

Recently, technology for intelligent Robot was advanced significantly. Many countries also decided to develop their own Robot industry, especially in northeast Asia. To meet the need of this trend, the theme of this conference is thus set as Advanced Robot Technology. Papers with new research results in all aspects of automation are encouraged for submission. This conference is aimed to promote strong interactions among researchers and to disseminate high quality research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the followings:

Robotics
Mechatronics Sensing and Control Technology
Opto-Mechatronic Technology for Automatio
MEMS/ NEMS
CAD/CAM/CIM
e-Diagnostics and e-Maintenance
e-Automation and e-Factory
e-Business Integration
Device Technology for Automation
Equipment and Process Technology for Automation
System Integration Technology for Automation
Industrial Information Technology
Machinery for Automation
Others
