Abstract

Reviews the two symposis making up the part of the 2001 Photonics Boston event – “Intelligent Systems and Advanced Manufacturing” and “Environmental and Industrial sensing”. The emphasis was on robots and on vision associated with mobile and/or autonomous robotic activity. Papers discussed include the FIDO Mars exploration robot. The symposium “Machine Vision and Three‐Dimensional Imaging Systems” is also discussed and included systems for inspecting asparagus, monochromatic Fresnel lens applications and fibre optic assembly.
