Friday May 6 1994 we intend to multicast several invited talks 
from the second workshop on Mobile Robots for Subsea Environments, 
sponsored by the International Advanced Robotics Programme.
Nations represented include France, Italy, Japan, U.K., Russia, Spain,
Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Portugal, Canada and USA.

This MBONE event includes three capstone presentations from the weeklong 
workshop.  All time are local (Pacific Daylight Time) and approximate.

  8:00  Welcome and introductory remarks
        Mike Lee MBARI and Bob McGhee NPS, conference cochairs
        Dick Blidberg Northeastern University, session chair
        Don Brutzman NPS, mbone coordinator

  8:30  "A Reactive Approach to Underwater Vehicle Control:  The Mixed
        ORCCAD/PIRART Programming of the Vortex Vehicle," 
        Daniel Simon, Eve Coste-Maniere, R. Pissard, Vincent Rigaud,
        M. Perrier, A. Peuch, INRIA/IFREMER, France.

  9:30  "Using Visual Sensing for Control of an Underwater Robotic Vehicle,"
        Richard Marks, Mike Lee and Stephen Rock, Monterey Bay
        Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) & Stanford University, USA.

 11:00  break

If possible we hope to add a bonus talk:

 12:00  "Autonomous Ocean Sampling Networks (AOSNs) and MIT AUV Operations
        in the Arctic Ocean," James Bellingham, Massachusetts Institute of
        Technology (MIT) Sea Grant, USA.

We had planned on providing live demonstrations by underwater robotics 
laboratories at various labs worldwide.  Unfortunately it appears as if
our remote sites are only able to participate as receivers, not 
broadcasters.  We shall see what happens.

Aside from Interop, we request that other sites avoid scheduling MBONE 
events during this period on May 6.  

Attendance at the workshop is by invitation.  Workshop inquiries may be sent
to Michael Lee, MBARI, 160 Central Avenue, Pacific Grove CA 93950 USA.
