EXTENDED DEADLINE 10 DECEMBER

ReMAR 2009, The ASME/IFToMM International Conference on Reconfigurable
Mechanisms and Robots (ReMAR 2009) will take place during June 22 -
24, 2009 at King's College London, University of London.

We invite you to submit a paper or to make a proposal for a special session
and to come to ReMAR 2009

All details including submission (template for 'full paper'), scientific
programme, social programme, venue and accommodation 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


There are currently three proposals for the special sessions on
Reconfigurable Manipulation Systems for Soft and Limb Materials, on
Reconfigurable Production Automation and Control/Innovative Future
Manufacturing, on Novel Mechanisms for Space Exploration, and on
Reconfigurable Computing for Reconfigurable Robots.

There are currently two awards on best paper on reconfigurable mechanisms
and best paper on reconfigurable robots.

The ReMAR 2009 will be held at King's College London, University of London,
which is situated at the heart of London, UK, in conjunction 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 <

The important dates are

1    December 2008, Proposal for the Special Sessions and Workshops
10  December 2008, Final Paper Submission Due
2    February 2009, Acceptance Notification
2    March 2009, Final Manuscript Submission Due

I will look forward to your attendance with us!
