MX2006 -- MECHATRONICS 2006

The 10th Mechatronics Forum Biennial International Conference

June 19-21, 2006

Penn State Great Valley
(near Philadelphia)
Malvern, PA 19355, USA

 

Conference Scope:

Mechatronics systems are at the interface of the disciplines of: electrical and electronics, computer science and information technology, mechanical engineering, and fundamental engineering design methodology. New products and systems based on mechatronic concepts demonstrate significantly reduced system complexity and cost, increased performance, and otherwise unattainable capability and flexibility. MX2006 is a continuation of the IMechE Mechatronics Forum biennial international conferences. High quality papers are sought from the international Mechatronics community. Industrial contributions, particularly case studies describing state-of-the-art technology, are especially welcome. Preference will be given to papers that highlight synergistic aspects of mechatronics application, analysis or simulation, and education.

Best Papers will be Included in International Journals:

All presented papers will be reviewed by the International Program Committee for submission to regular and special editions of several international journals including The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Meccanica, and the IMechE Control and Systems Journal: Part I. Authors may be asked to refine their papers for style and formatting by the editors of those journals.

Keynote Addresses

Keynote addresses include:
  • "Autonomous Underwater Vehicles in Collaborative Networks" – Professor Tony Healey, Distinguished Professor and Chairman, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA
  • “Development, testing and validation of complex automotive systems” – Dr Alex Mouzakitis from the Jaguar Engineering Center, UK.
  • "Revolutionizing Prosthetics: the Next Generation of Neurally Controlled Prosthetic Limbs" – Dr Gregory Clark from the Bioengineering Department at the University of Utah, USA.

See Call for Papers for Expected Submission Topics

Please submit your papers as soon as possible for faster decision turn around so travel arrangements and any necessary visa applications can be processed early. A letter of invitation can only be issued to authors of accepted papers.
