                        CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
                 1995 IEEE International Symposium on 
                       Assembly and Task Planning
              --- Towards Flexible and Agile Manufacturing ---

                August 10-11, 1995, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 

              (To be held in conjunction with IROS'95)

Assembly and task planning plays a key role for integrating design and
manufacturing. This field has the potential to produce automated and
interactive tools which significantly impact the development of
advanced manufacturing as well as concurrent engineering environments.
The theme of this first symposium is ``Toward Flexible and Agile
Manufacturing,'' recognizing the need for developing manufacturing
environments geared to meet the future demands of the industry. The
symposium will provide an international forum which draws together
researchers working on different aspects of the problem of assembly
and task planning in the robotics and manufacturing context. In
addition to original research papers, there will be panel discussions
with participants from academia, industry, and the government. The
paper presentations will be organized in two parallel sessions over
two days and will cover the following topics.


        Design for Assembly  
	Assembly Representations  
        Assembly Sequence Planning 
        Tolerance Accumulation in Assembly 
        Assembly Cost Evaluation  
        Assembly Stability and Fixtures 
	Part Feeding and Reorientation  
	Workcell Planning  
	Action Planning 
        Fine Motion Planning  
	Gross Motion Planning  
	Sensor Planning 
	Distributed Planning  
        Production Planning  
	Manufacturing Process Planning 
        Scheduling  
	Planning under Uncertainty  
	On-line Planning and Reaction 
        Plan Monitoring  
	Error Detection and Recovery
	Applications
