2018 3rd International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ICMAT 2018) will be held in Phuket, Thailand, from September. 27-29, 2018! ICMAT 2018 is co-organized by RMIT University, AUT University, Swinburne University of Technology, The Australian National University and Hong Kong Society of Mechanical Engineers. ICMAT 2016 & 2017 was successfully held at Auckland and Melbourne in 2016 - 2017, respectively. ICMAT 2018 welcomes articles in the field of Mechatronics and Automation Technology, dealing with new developments in theory, analytical and numerical simulation and modeling, experimentation, demonstration, advanced deployment and case studies, results of laboratory or field operational tests, under the general theme of Mechatronics and Automation Technology. On behalf of the organizing committee, we'd like to send our honest invitation to all distinguished researchers and practitioners to have an open dialogue for Mechatronics and Automation Technology in ICMAT 2018.

The topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: - Intelligent mechatronics, robotics, biomimetics, automation and control systems - opto-electronic elements and Materials, laser technology and laser processing - Elements, structures, mechanisms, and applications of micro and nano systems - Teleoperation, telerobotics, haptics, and teleoperated semi-autonomous systems - Sensor design, multi-sensor data fusion algorithms and wireless sensor networks - Biomedical and rehabilitation engineering, prosthetics and artificial organs - Control system modeling and simulation techniques and methodologies - AI, intelligent control, neuro-control, fuzzy control and their applications - Industrial automation, process control, manufacturing process and automation
