		ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Telemanipulator Technology
Part of SPIE's OE/Technology `92
15-20 November, 1992
Hynes Convention Center,
Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Program Chair: Hari Das, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Program Committee: Dov Adelstein, NASA Ames Research Center,
		   Blake Hannaford, University of Washington,
		   Samuel Landsberger, Cornell University,
		   Sukhan Lee, USC,
		   Thomas Sheridan, MIT.

This program will address problems associated with technologies 
developed to facilitate remote manipulation by human operators.  
Target applications for these technologies include hazardous 
and/or unstructured workplaces, where the task environment may
be beyond the range of direct human manipulation and sensing, and 
where human sensory information processing and decision-making 
skills allow telemanipulators to outperform purely autonomous 
systems.

A variety of fields related to telemanipulation will be covered 
in this program.  In addition to hardware implementation (e.g., 
electronics and computer architectures, master-slave systems, 
anthropomorphic manipulators, hand controllers, and sensors), 
new telemanipulator developments in modeling, analysis and 
control that help deal with communication delays and provide
stable high bandwidth operation will be considered.  Other 
topics such as sensory presentation to improve visualization
of remote or virtual environments, virtual environments 
for operator training and time delay compensation, 
man-machine interfaces for complex teleoperator system 
management, and studies of operator training and performance 
will also be included.

Papers in the following areas and related topics are being 
solicited:

        - hardware implementation for telemanipulators and
                telemanipulator components
        - modeling, analysis, and control of telemanipulators
        - telepresence and virtual environments
        - sensory information processing and presentation
        - man-machine systems and operator aids
        - human operator training and performance evaluation
