Overview
--------------------------------------

The 2012 FTRA International Symposium on Intelligent Robotics, Automations  
and
Applications (IRoA-12), co-sponsored by FTRA will
be held in Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012. The IRoA is a major forum  
for
scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present  
the latest re-
search, results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of  
intelligent robo-
tics and automations. Furthermore, we expect that the IRoA-12 and its  
publications
will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements  
in this
important subject. The IRoA-12 is co-sponsored by FTRA.
In addition the conference is supported by KITCS.
