The 36th International Symposium on Robotics (ISR 2005) will be held from 29 November to 1 December 2005 at the Keidanren Kaikan in Tokyo (Plate 1).

The International Symposium on Robotics is the world's oldest international conference in the field of robotics, with a history that dates back to the dawn of modern industrial robotics, and a tradition and influence unmatched in the field. It is a forum for presenting state- of-the-art research in robot technologies (RT) and applications from around the world. The goal of the symposium is to host discussions of new trends in product design and new horizons in the ever-expanding RT market, so it plays an important role for promoting international exchange in research and industry.

The theme of this year's Symposium is “Creating New Industries through Robot Technology.” The field of robotics is now entering a new phase of development. In addition to traditional applications in industry, robots now support our lives in such areas as medical care, security and home life. Robot technology is also finding applications in many new fields such as disaster relief support and social welfare. As these societal needs increase, the creation of new RT-based industries will be required.

ISR 2005 will feature guest lectures and special sessions devoted to the promotion and development of next- generation robots, papers on cutting- edge robotics research & development and application, and international research interchange in the field. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the Symposium.

In conjunction with the Symposium, the 2005 International Robot Exhibition will be held for four days (30 November through 3 December 2005) at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight). This exhibition will feature state-of-the-art robotics technologies and products developed both at home and abroad. It is sure to be an outstanding opportunity for learning and exchange for robotics researchers, manufacturers and users alike.
