Since the first DIISM conference, which took place 9 years ago, the
world has seen drastic changes, including the transformation of
manufacturing and engineering software, and the information and
communication technologies deployed. The conditions for
manufacturing and engineering have changed on a large scale, in
terms of technology-enabled collaboration among the fields of
design, engineering, production, usage, maintenance and
recyclingldisposal. These changes can be observed in
rapidly-growing fields such as supply chain management. As for
production technologies at factory floors, new visions on
human-machine co-existing systems involve both knowledge management
and multi-media technologies. Therefore, because of these changes,
the importance of information infrastructure for manufacturing has
increased, stunningly. Information infrastructure plays a key role
in integrating diverse fields of manufacturing, engineering and
management. This, in addition to its basic role, as the information
and communication platform for the production systems. Eventually,
it should also serve the synthetic function of knowledge
management, during the life cycles of both the production systems
and their products, and for all stakeholders.
The book includes 61 selected papers from 106 presented at the
second International Conference on Machine Automation (ICMA2000).
The conference focused, for the first time, on human friendly
mechantronics which covers machine systems interacting with human
beings, psychological, physiological, and physical behaviors of the
human being itself, robotics, human-mimetic mechanical systems,
commercial application examples and so on. Machine automation has
owed a lot to mechatronics technology in the last decades, however,
a paradigm shift is desired and emphasized in the 21st century in
every aspect of our society, and mechantronics is not an exception.
The paradigm shift in mechatronics is a pursuit of productivity and
efficiency to the preference of humans, and it is time that a new
concept of a human friendly robot must be proposed that is welcome
by human users. The book aims to offer the most up-to-date and
valuable information on:
Human Interface & Communication
Human Support Technology
Actuator & Control
Vision & Sensing
Robotics and Design
Manufacturing System
We believe this book will bring advanced knowledge and valuable
information to the industries as well as to academics and will
contribute to the further development in mechatronics and its
related fields.
