Papers are invited for the section on AI in Manufacturing and Robotics of The Third International Conference on CAD/CAM Automation, Robotics and Factories of the Future(CAR & FOF). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following artificial intellgience areas: Manufacturing Workcell Diagnosis, Process Planning, Robot Motion Planning, Scheduling, Knowledge Representation of Workcells, Sensor-based Programming, Vision, and Object Representation. Deadline: Three copies of an extended abstract should be sent to the section organizer at the address given below. Each copy of the extended abstract should contain the title of the paper, full name(s) and addresses of all authors, objectives, methods and significance of the reported results. The closing date for receipt of abstracts is February 1, 1988. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 1988. Camera-ready manuscript will be due by April 15, 1988.
