MIPE

JSME-IIP/ASME-ISPS Joint Conference on Micromechatronics for Information and Precision Equipment

MIPE is an international conference co-hosted every three years by the Information, Intelligence and Precision (IIP) Equipments Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and the Information Storage and Processing Systems (ISPS) Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Researchers and engineers in the fields of micro and precision instruments, information storage, intelligent machines, biomedical engineering, tribology, and robotics gather, and the conference has become a place for active technical exchange. While focusing on micro/nanomechatronics and information technology, which are indispensable for high performance and high functionality of machines, the conference also covers technical issues in applied fields, contributing to the promotion of social implementation of technology.
Topics to be discussed at MIPE include (i) storage devices and relating technologies such as head/disk interface and tribology, mechanism and control, (ii) flexible media feeding and handling machines, (iii) image processing and printing technologies, (iv) intelligent machines, (v) bio-medical equipment, (vi) precision equipment and (vii) micro/nanosystem science and technology.
