05 Robotics Related Organizations p1
There are a number of organizations and societies related to robotics.
Some are related specifically to industry, several to academia and a
number of hobbyist groups. In addition, a number of the groups, such
as the ASME or IEEE, (see below) are very large organizations and
robotics is one of many sub-disciplines in their respective fields.
Many of these organizations also have periodicals associated with
robotics.
"Advanced Robot Technology Research Association "(Japan)
Kikai-shinko Bldg
3-5-8 Shiba-Kohen, Minato-ku, Tokyo
tel: (03) 434-0532

Has joint research programs with member companies. Members are
20 or so Japanese companies including: Ishikawajima-Harima, Oki
Electric, Kawasaki Heavy Industry, Kobe Steel, Komatsu,
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Toshiba, JGC, NEC, Hitachi,
Fanuc, Fujitsu, Fuji, Matshushita Research Institute, Mitsui,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Yaskawa.

Has interests and promotes robotics, particularly in remote
applications in nuclear and other hazardous environments. Has
robotics and remote systems sessions at ANS meetings in June
and November. Has a Topical Meeting on Robotics and Remote
Systems in spring of odd numbered years (i.e., 1997).
Typically, there are well over 100 papers presented at topicals
and attendance is around 400. Membership includes monthly
Nuclear News magazine as well as division newsletter twice a
year
"American Society of Mechanical Engineers, (ASME)"
345 E. 47th Street
New York, NY 10017
Mechanical Engineering magazine, like the IEEE's Spectrum, is
an excellent general publication on aspects of mechanical
engineering. There are often publications on robotics and the
ASME sponsors a number of other publications and conferences
that are relevant to robotics. The ASME also has a BBS service,
MechEng, with an email server. send email to with 'send info'
in the body.
"The Association for Robotics in Hazardous Environments (RHE)"

One of the several Robotic Industries Association
Organizations. See [9]RIA. The Association for Robotics in
Hazardous Environments is committed to promoting the global
commercialization of robotic systems for use in hazardous
environments by:
+ Improving operational capabilities and minimizing human
exposure.
+ Defining common terminology and promoting performance
standards.
+ Gathering and disseminating industry information.
+ Influencing public policy.
+ Bringing users, developers and suppliers together with the
common goal of advancing U.S. industry in the global
marketplace.
