			CALL FOR PAPERS

	Special Volume: NEURAL SYSTEMS FOR ROBOTICS
		Editor: P. Patrick van der Smagt

This series will review state-of-the-art research in neural networks,
natural and synthetic.  Contributions from leading researchers and
practitioners will be sought.  This series will help shape and define
academic and professional programs in this area.  This series is intended
for a wide audience; those professionally involved in neural network
research, such as lecturers and primary investigators in neural computing,
neural modeling, neural learning, neural memory, and neurocomputers.  The
upcoming volume, NEURAL SYSTEMS FOR ROBOTICS, will focus on research in
natural and artificial neural systems directly related to robotics and
robot control.

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts describing
recent progress in neural network research directly applicable 
to robotics.  Manuscripts may be survey or tutorial in nature.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

	* Neural control systems for visually guided robots

	* Manipulator trajectory control 
	
	* Sensor feedback systems & sensor data fusion

	* Obstacle avoidance

	* Biologically inspired robot systems

	* Identification of kinematics and dynamics

Implementation of algoritms in non-simulated environments
(i.e., *real* robots) is encouraged.

The papers will be refereed and uniformly typeset. Ablex and the Progress

manuscript proposal, directly to the Special Volume Editor:
