EXTENDED DEADLINE 10
DECEMBER
ReMAR 2009
The ASME/IFToMM International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and
Robots (ReMAR 2009)
can be found on the website http://www.remar2009.com/
Please note
the extended deadline for submission of regular papers is 10 December, 2008
Looking forward to welcome you in London
The more details are as follows:
With the development of science
and technology and with space exploration, hazardous environment work, and
production requirements of small batch and quick change-over, traditional
concepts of mechanisms and robots development are facing a challenge in the
21st century for adaptability and reconfigurability. This led to continuous
effort from researchers since 1990s of generating new ideas and concepts for
new mechanisms and machines including robots for reconfigurability.
It is now felt by the wide community in mechanisms, robotics and design that it
is a good time to hold this international conference for people in this field
to express their views and for people from the community to discuss the
research in this reconfigurable mechanisms and robots and to discuss the future
direction in this rising field in reconfigurable mechanisms and robots.
The ASME/IFToMM International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and
Robots (ReMAR 2009) is to provide an international forum for presenting and
discussing new mechanisms and robots developed in the past decade for their new
properties in changing topological structure and therefore the mobility of a
mechanism/robot and for discussing their uses for domestic, hazardous,
out-space and manufacturing environments for adaptability and reconfiguration.
The main areas of this conference include, but not limit to, following
subjects:
Novel Mechanism Design
Reconfiguration and Adaptability
Metamorphic Mechanisms
Reconfigurable Mechanisms
Reconfigurable Topology
Metamorphic Robotics
Reconfigurable Manufacturing
Bio-design Technics
Bio-metamorphic Robotics
Reconfigurable Robots
Kinematics and Dynamics of Reconfiguration
Bio-reconfiguration Engineering
Various Topology Modeling
Modular Devices
Biological Self-Assembly Mechanisms
Biomimetics
Artiomimetics
The ReMAR 2009 will be held at King's College London, University of London,
which is situated at the heart of London, UK, in conjuction to the celebration
of 171 Years of Engineering at King's College London. King's is one of the
oldest and most prestigious UK universities with 13,000 undergraduate students
and 9,200 graduates in nine schools of study with 2,700 academic staff and
2,700 other staff. The Engineering was established at King's in 1838 and is
arguably the oldest established engineering school in England. King's College
London was ranked in the top 25 of the world leading universities.
You are very welcome to submit your work to this conference. Your submission
will be reviewed by members of our Programme Committee and selected external
reviewers. The special issues of Robotica and Journal of Mechanical Engineering
Science will be followed. More detailed information about this event can be
found in conference official website: www.remar2009.com
