✦ Synopsis

Mechatronics is one of the most powerful technologies to overcome various industrial and social problems arising in the 21st century, for example, realization of the recycle manufacturing system, global consideration on the environment and development of human oriented technology. The Third International Conference on Advanced Mechatronics (ICAM'98): Innovative Mechatronics for the 21st Century was held in Okayama, Japan, August 3-6, 1998, succeeding the 1st and 2nd held in Tokyo, Japan, in 1988 and 1993, respectively, sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The purpose of the conference is to promote the creation of new technologies and industries such as advanced robotics and human oriented technology for the coming 21st century.

Two plenary talks and 35 technical sessions including 11 specially organized sessions were opened. In technical sessions, a total of 149 papers were presented, of which 61 papers were in the specially organized sessions and 88 papers in the general sessions: 102 papers from Japan and 47 from 17 other countries. The number of registered participants excluding invited guests was 40 from other countries and 163 from Japan. After a technical program, the Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics Symposium was held aim-
