Organization: CAE
Subject: Paint stripper robot vision
I'm presently working on a new robotic system that will be used
to remove paint from aircraft (747, F16, ...).
A computer vision system will be used on that robot.
The vision system should be able to tell if the coating has been
remove or not from the aircraft surface. It should be able to
differenciate coating colors, primer and the type of substrates.
(aluminium, graphite epoxy composite, ...)
The vision system will be used to control the arm speed.
I would like to know if there is a vision system available somewhere
that could meet these requirements.
If you have any info on that type of system, let me know !
bye...

APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ROBOTICS AND
VISION SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
October 3-6, 1995
(Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI)
INTRODUCTION
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal,
between October 3-6, 1995. As in previous cases ('89, '91,
and '93), EPIA'95 will be run as an international
conference, English being the official language. The
scientific program includes tutorials, invited lectures,
demonstrations, and paper presentations. The Conference will
include three parallel workshops on Expert Systems, Fuzzy
Logic and Neural Networks, and Applications of A.I. to
Robotics and Vision Systems. These workshops will run
simultaneously (see below) and consist of invited talks,
panels, paper presentations and poster sessions.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and
Vision Systems Workshop may last for either 1, 2 or 3 days,
depending on the quantity and quality of submissions.
APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ROBOTICS AND
VISION SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
During the last few years, Artificial Intelligence
techniques have been successfully applied to a large number
of problems in robotics and computer vision.
This workshop aims to provide an overview of such
applications specially featuring real prototypes and systems
(e.g., robotic insects, autonomous mobile robots, etc.).
The availability of demonstrations (robots, vision systems,
videos and demonstration software) is highly appreciated and
will be taken into account in assessing submissions.
The workshop will be divided into two areas: paper
presentations and system exhibitions, where prototypes
related to the presentations will be demonstrated.
The organization invites you to participate in the workshop
via paper presentations and/or system demonstrations.
EXHIBITIONS
In order to illustrate and to support theoretical
presentations the organization will provide adequate
conditions (space and facilities) for exhibitions regarding
the three workshops mentioned. These exhibitions can include
software running systems (several platforms are available),
video presentations (PAL-G VHS system), robotics systems
(such as robotics insects, and autonomous robots), and
posters. On the one hand, this space will allow the
presentation of results and real-world applications of the
research developed by our community and, on the other it
will serve as a source of motivation to students and young
researchers.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are asked to submit five (5) copies of their papers
to the submissions address by May 2, 95. Notification of
acceptance or rejection will be mailed to the first (or
designated) author on June 5, 95, and camera ready copies
for inclusion in the workshop proceedings will be due on
July 3, 95. Each copy of submitted papers should include a
separate title page giving the names, addresses, phone
numbers and email addresses (where available) of all
authors, and a list of keywords identifying the subject area
of the paper. Papers should be a maximum of 16 pages and
printed on A4 paper in 12 point type with a maximum of 38
lines per page and 75 characters per line ( corresponding to
LaTeX article style, 12 pt). Double sided submissions are
preferred. Electronic or faxed submissions will not be
accepted. Further inquiries should be addressed to the
inquiries address.
ATTENDANCE
Each workshop will be limited to at most fifty people. In
addition to presenters of papers and posters, there will be
space for a limited number of other participants chosen on
the basis of a one- to two-page research summary which
should include a list of relevant publications, along with

REVIEW OF PAPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Submissions will be judged on significance, originality,
quality and clarity. Reviewing will be blind to the
identities of the authors. This requires that authors
exercise some care not to identify themselves in their
papers. Each copy of the paper must have a title page,
separated from the body of the paper, including the title of
the paper, the names and addresses of all authors, a list of
content areas (see above) and any acknowledgments. The second
page should include the same title, a short abstract of less
than 200 words, and the exact same contents areas, but not
the names nor affiliations of the authors. This page may
include text of the paper. The references should include all
published literature relevant to the paper, including
previous works of the authors, but should not include
unpublished works of the authors. When referring to one's own
work, use the third person. For example, say "previously,
Peter [17] has shown that ...". Try to avoid including any
information in the body of the paper or references that would
identify the authors or their institutions. Such information
can be added to the final camera-ready version for
publication. Please do not staple the title page to the body
of the paper. Submitted papers must be unpublished.
PUBLICATION
~~~~~~~~~~~
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (lecture
notes in A.I. series). Authors will be required to transfer
copyright of their paper to Springer-Verlag.
ASSOCIATED WORKSHOPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the framework of the conference three workshops will be
organized: Applications of Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and
Neural Networks in Engineering, and Applications of
Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and Vision Systems. Real
world applications, running systems, and demos are welcome.
