ISMCR '95 is an international symposium organized by IMEKO ! ! (International Measurement Confederation) Technical Committee on ! ! Robotics (TC-17), Slovak Technical University and Slovak Academy ! ! of Sciences. This will be the 5th International Symposium on ! ! Measurement and Control in Robotics, succeeding the 3rd ISMCR ! ! held in Torino, Italy, in September 1993 and the 4th ISMCR that ! ! will take place at NASA/JSC Houston, Texas, in December 1994 as ! ! a Workshop & Tutorial on Virtual Reality. ! ! Special sessions will be included in the symposium dealing ! ! with Sensor Fusion, Dynamic Motion Control, Micro Robots, Robots ! ! for Health Care and Telerobotics. Proposals and suggestions are ! ! welcome on topics of current interest. ! ! The objective of the symposium is to bring high quality ! ! papers on relevant topics for reporting new research results, ! ! together with cross fertilization among experts in each specia- ! ! lity. Paper proposals are solicited on technical aspects of ! ! design, implementation, control and testing of hardware and ! ! software systems of robotics from the standpoint of sensors, ! ! systems, information, control, computer and ergonomics. ! !____________________________________________________________________!
