AIM Commemorative Forum – Open Up to the Future
|
Organizer & Host: I-Ming Chen |
The 1st global rotation of the IEEE/ASME
International Conference on Advanced Intelligent
Mechatronics (AIM) was inaugurated in Tokyo,
Japan (1997), then in Atlanta, USA (1999), and
completed in Como, Italy (2001). In 2022, we
celebrated the 25th anniversary of 1st AIM
edition in Sapporo, Japan. Now in 2024, we take
this opportunity to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the AIM global rotation held in
North America with an AIM
Commemorative Forum in
AIM 2024 in Boston. Past AIM
conference chairpersons shared their
reflections, insights, and visions for
mechatronics in the years to come. We also wish
to take the opportunity to discuss the open-up
for the future of AIM conference through this
Commemorative Forum. Mechatronics is an
interdisciplinary subject contributing to
enabling technology for manufacturing,
automation, robotics, IoT, and many
domain-specific applications like healthcare,
environment, sustainability, and energy. AIM, as
an offspring flagship conference of IEEE/ASME
Transactions on Mechatronics (TMech), will
continue to promote emerging research topics in
mechatronics and play a crucial role in shaping
the future industry in the age of AI & Robotics.
