***************************************** Nowadays robotics is gaining new and new application fields, becoming pervasive in the daily life. Manipulation skills are very important requirements for the emergent robot applications, both in industry (e.g. handling food, fabrics, leather) and in less structured domains (e.g. cyber-surgery, space, undersea). Intelligent manipulation and grasping systems are a vital part of industrial, service and personal robotics for various applications and environments to advance manufacturing automation, to make safe hazardous operations and to enhance in different ways the living standard. The goal of the workshop is to exchange and stimulate research ideas about intelligent manipulation and grasping devices and systems as well as to disseminate knowledge and solutions and promote transfer to industry.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION Prospective authors are invited to submit full paper in PDF or DOC formats to the workshop secretariat, following the guidelines available on the workshop WEB site:

Manuscript will be peer reviewed by two independent reviewers. Accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors in order to appear in the workshop Proceedings and CD.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of manuscript: March 1, 2004 Notifications of acceptance: April 20, 2004 Final manuscript and registration: May 4, 2004

TOPICS include but are not limited to: Lightweight manipulation, Dexterous manipulation, Modular reconfigurable manipulation and grasping devices, Mechanical architectures, Parallel and hybrid mechanisms, Assembly and micro-assembly, Planning and control architectures, Haptic devices, Vision and sensory guided manipulation, Biologically inspired manipulation and grasping, Neurobiology of Sensori-motor Coordination, Interactive emotional robots, Reality based manipulation and grasping systems modelling and simulation, Micro-grippers, Manipulation of limp, soft and difficult objects, Healthcare and medical robots, Rehabilitation systems, Domestic robots, Humanoids, Robots in food industry, Robots in hazardous, space and underwater environments

GENERAL CHAIR: Rezia Molfino, University of Genova, Italy

LOCAL ORGANIZATION (preliminary): Luca Bruzzone, Emanuele Cavallo, Francesco Cepolina, Emanuela Cepolina, Sandro Costo, Silvia Frumento, Roberto Pani, Roberto Razzoli, Matteo Zoppi, Giorgio Zurlo

VENUE The workshop will take place at Villa Cambiaso, head office of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Genova. Villa Cambiaso is an historical villa built by Galeazzo Alessi in 16th century on the east side of the center of Genova, . In 2004 Genova will be the European Capital of Culture, serving as a focusing point for several international cultural events. This will give a unique opportunity for the participants to the Workshop to visit the City and to join other cultural events. Genova is also the centre of the Ligurian Riviera, with the renown tourist resorts of Portofino and Cinque Terre, at an easy reach.
