Dear Subscribers,

This is the last May issue of the ParalleMIC newsletter. This week, I am
flying to South Korea to attend the 2nd Workshop on Computational Kinematics.
After the workshop, I and my colleague, Dr. Zlatanov, will visit a number of
laboratories working in the field of parallel mechanisms. Dr. Zlatanov is
already in Japan where he is touring several robotics labs.

When we will be back, at the end of this month, there will be a review on the
research initiatives on parallel mechanisms in the countries of the morning
calm and the rising sun.

Yours sincerely,

Ilian Bonev
