We need to produce a necessary product at a necessary place on a necessary occasion by a necessary person. Thus, we would assemble and dis- assemble products at any time at any place. Assembly and task planning has played a key role in manufacturing and now in the whole life of manufactured products. Now in the twenty-first century, it becomes not only technology in industry but also daily life technology for the sustainable society. The great progress of computer power will enable task planning usable even by people at home. In the beginning of the new century, we gather in Fukuoka and discuss the broad applications of assembly technology and task planning. Following the success of the three previous editions, this symposium is held in Kyushu Island in Japan. Fukuoka is located by 70-minute flight from Seoul, where ICRA2001 will be held just before ISATP. Considering its importance of assembly and task planning both in industrial application and in new potential one, the theme is newly defined as "Assembly and Disassembly in the Twenty-first Century" but of course includes the continued broad theme of this symposium, "Toward Flexible and Agile Assembly and Manufacturing.
