			Call for Participation
		 The Sixth International Symposium of
			  Robotics Research

The Sixth International Symposium of Robotics Research will be held
near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, from October 2 to 5, 1993. The
goal of the symposium is to bring together active, leading robotics
researchers from academia, government, and industry, to define the
state of the art of robotics and its future direction.

The symposium will be held in an informal setting with a limited
number of participants in order to maximize interaction.  During the
four-day symposium, approximately fifty papers will be presented, in a
single track, to cover the broad research area of robotics; some
papers will be presented in sessions focused on specific research
areas, others will be presented in a panel format to facilitate group
discussion.

Papers representing authoritative reviews of established research
areas as well as papers reporting on new areas are sought for
presentation at the symposium.  A number of leading researchers will
be asked to submit an extended abstract outlining a paper representing
their area of research to be presented at the symposium.  Researchers
who feel that they have made a significant new contribution to
robotics are invited to submit an abstract.  All abstracts will be
reviewed by the symposium Program Committee before final acceptance.
Extended abstracts are due by February 1, 1993, to either Program
Chairman.  Decisions of acceptance will be made by April 1, 1993, and
the final papers are due by September 1, 1993.

The proceedings of the symposium will be published as a book, with
introductions to each section written by senior members of the
robotics research community.  Attendance at the symposium is limited
to the presenters and to invited participants.
