Hi Hashemi, Thanks for clarifying your question. I am aware of one full fledged research program concerning robotics in my area of expertise, dairy production. This is an EU-based project, and information can be found at: http://www.automaticmilking.nl/ I would also go to the searchable USDA database of research projects, and the following URL takes you to that system. You can search for robot and find a number of results. You will then need to read the project descriptions and list of publications available. Then you'll need to obtain the publications through traditional routes for you in Iran. If there are not yet any publications by the researchers, then take the names of the professors and go to the home page for their institutions, and find their laboratory www site. Often there will be a www site for a research lab, and that will have publications available. Good luck on your paper! Mark Varner http://cristel.nal.usda.gov/menu.html
