These are exciting times for manufacturing engineers. It has been
said that American industry will undergo greater changes during the
1980 and 1990 decades than it did during the entire eight preceding
decades of this century. The industrial robot has become the symbol
of this progress in computer-integrated manufacturing. This book is
for engineers and managers in manufacturing industries who are
involved in implementing robotics in their operations. With tens of
thousands of industrial robots already in use in the United States,
there are plenty of role models for proposed applications to be
patterned after. This book provides an overview of robot
applications and presents case histories that might suggest
applications to engineers and managers for implementation in their
own facilities. The application of industrial robots were well
developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While the reader may
note some of the examples discussed in this handbook incorporate
older robot models, it is the application that is of interest. As
Joseph Engelberger, the founding father of robotics has pointed
out, industrial robots in 1988 are "doing pretty much the same kind
of work" as they did in 1980.
