               Tuesday, December 12, 2000, 6:30PM
                Houlihans, Route 9 in Framingham

- What constitutes a robot?
- Who is using robots at this time?
- Who is doing robotics?  Are they making any money at it?
- How is robotics related to machine vision and artificial
  intelligence?
- Would you want a robot caring for you in your old age?
- What is the future of robotics?

   These are a few of the questions that will be open for
discussion over dinner at the Robotics Roundtable - an annual
holiday-time tradition. This meeting will provide an informal
setting for those interested in robotics to get acquainted. All
are welcome, especially students; membership in the IEEE or the
Robotics and Automation Society is not required. Feel free to
bring significant others. We will also have a brief steering
committe meeting sometime during the evening. All attendees are
