M2VIP
2010

The sixteenth annual Conference on 
Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

was held in Brunei, June 22-24, 2010.

You can see a summary of the proceedings here.
The timetable of presentations is here.

The nearest hotel to the conference venue is the Empire Hotel and Country Club
where the social events were held.  The web site does not do it justice!
Although there were few delegates, there was plenty of valuable time for discussions
plus some fascinating tutorial material.

Now there is an M2VIP strand in the
Southern Region Engineering Conference 2010
11-12 November 2010, Toowoomba

Time is short!  Please send your full papers as attachments to me at
billings@usq.edu.au

Papers accepted for this stream of the conference will receive a third stage of review
for their possible inclusion in a textbook to be published by Springer.

 

Call for Papers

The topics of the conference are defined in its title, Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice -
and the emphasis is on practical applications.  A fuller description is given at the foot of this page.
Special encouragement is given to applications of robotics and machine vision in agriculture.

A selection of the best papers will be published
in book form by Springer-Verlag
 extending the series

Springer 2008

Scope of this stream of the conference

    'Mechatronics' has become accepted for what it is, the blending of mechanics,
     electronics and computer control into an integrated design.
Degree courses in mechatronics are now widespread. 
That does not mean that mechatronics has lost its 'art'.

     It continues to be the basis of an ever growing list of products and techniques of great
     technical and commercial value. Mechatronic design can result in products which are
     much simpler than their intricate and costly predecessors
and can make commonplace the miracles of yesterday.

     Machine-vision has emerged from the laboratory to find real applications in areas
     which include vehicle guidance, robot control and agriculture. Low-cost cameras have
     been developed for multimedia applications - but with their ease of interfacing they
     offer a whole new field of low-cost vision-based control.

     Like its sixteen predecessors, M2VIP 2010 will provide a forum for international experts
     and researchers to present and review advances in mechatronics and machine vision
     which have culminated in practical applications, or which promise practical
     implementation in the very near future.
    Presentations are encouraged to include video material of experimental systems.
