Proceedings of the Conference on Space and Military Applications of Automation and Robotics Held in Huntsville, Alabama on 21-22 June 1988

Abstract

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the Conference on Space and Military Applications of Automation and Robotics held 21-22 June 1988 in Huntsville, Alabama. The conference sessions were arranged to present two concurrent programs. Welcome speeches and the keynote addresses were given at the Plenary Session. Twelve topical sessions covered current areas of interest in automation and robotics technology. Papers presented at the session entitled IVA Robotics addresses robotics applications aboard the Space Station. In the session entitled Strategies for Deployment, robotics systems for battlefield automation and reconnaissance/surveillance missions were discussed. The conference program included two sessions on Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. Papers in these sessions covered a variety of topics including undersea remotely operated vehicles, autonomous land vehicles, autonomous aircraft, telerobotics, modeling and simulation, sensor fusion, programming languages and man machine interfaces. The Sensors and Image Processing session papers addressed laser radar, multimode trackers for fire and forget systems, image stabilization techniques for robotic vehicles and digital image processing. There were also two sessions on Robotic Systems. These papers discussed methods and technology of existing robot systems.
