Abstract

It is, indeed, a pleasure to edit this special issue of Robotica entitled Design and Applications. This consists of revised and updated papers presented during the 26th International Symposium on Industrial Robots (ISIR), which was held on 4–6 October, 1995, in Singapore. The theme of the symposium was “Competitive Automation: New Frontiers, New Opportunities”. Ninety-six papers were presented by authors from twenty-five countries around the world. Three keynote presentations were made by Dr. Joseph Engelberger, best known as the ‘Father of Industrial Robots', Prof. Yukio Hasegawa, a world renowned professor from Japan and Mr. Walter Reis, from Germany (then the Chairman of the International Federation of Robotics).
