The fifth edition of the Robotics International Conference OPTIROB 2010 is the constant preoccupation of the Robotics team from POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, Machine and Manufacturing Systems Department under the tutelage of the Rumanian Academy of Sciences, Mechanical Branch, in order to find new methods, communication ways and technologic transfer between specialists of the world, for exchanging and presenting last research results and discussing the latest development in the most important field of automation manufacturing systems, robotics.

The international conference will be held also under the highest tutelage of the Romanian Academy of Sciences- Mechanical Branch assuring by this, the high level of the selected invited research papers for the presentation in the conference forum and to be published in the Annals of the OPTIROB International Conference Proceedings volume.

The topic of the international conference will be:

Computer design in Robotics;
Analyze and optimal synthesis;
Optimization of dynamics and vibrations;
Optimization of driving systems;
Mechatronics;
Optimization of controllers and programming languages;
Ghidance systems;
Fuzzy theory, neural and neuro- fuzzy networks;
Mobile robots in personal applications;
Special robots and military applications;
New methods in educational and management of robotized systems;
Manufacturing robotized systems;
Applications.
The mascot of the international OPTIROB conference, what was established from the second edition, the tree of the good luck, grow up, like a symbol of the development of this important field of the engineering in the automation manufacturing systems and intelligent systems.

We invite all the contributors to the realization of the present conference with hope that, the number of interested specialists and the papers to be higher.

We believe in a complete success of the 5-th edition of the Robotics International Conference, OPTIROB 2010.

With best regards,
