The last decade has seen the emergence of a unified approach for
product design which attempts to combine traditionally distinct
tasks such as design, management, marketing, analysis, manufacture
and materials. Often called "Concurrent Engineering" or
"Simultaneous Engineering", this new philosophy aims at improving
cost competitiveness by reducing waste of time, money, and other
resources inherent in the iterative traditional methods. In view of
the importance of this new philosophy, concurrent engineering was
selected as the theme for the conference on which this text is
based. The main objective of the conference was to bring together
researchers and practitioners from government, industries and
academia interested in the multi-disciplinary and
inter-organizational productivity aspects of advanced manufacturing
systems utilizing CAD/CAM, CAE, CIM, parametric technology, AI,
robotics, and AGV technology. A selection of the papers presented
at the conference are presented in this, and a companion volume,
and emphasize aspects of concurrent engineering and flexible
automation. This book of proceedings on robotics, automation and
production engineering is intended for researchers and
practitioners from government, industries and academia interested
in advanced manufacturing systems.
An International Conference on Robotics and Factories of the Future
was held on December 4-7, 1984 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
The development of technology and the status as it stands today is
highly multidisciplinary and complex in nature. It has added new
dimensions and challenges in the development of factories of the
future. Thus it calls upon an integrated approach of technological,
economic and sociological impacts of robots and computers in
factories of the future. Sessions in this conference included:
Planning of Automation, Future Trends & Management, Integration
of CAD/CAM & Robot Cell, Robots Applications, Manipulation I,
Controls I, Manipulation II, Computer Vision and Sensors, Robot
Cell and Mobile Robot, Controls II, Artificial Intelligence,
Advanced Applications of Robots, Industrial Panel, CAD/CAM and
Flexible Manufacturing, Robotics and CAD/CAM Education I, Social
and Economic Implications, Robotics and CAD/CAM Education II, and
Industry and User Interaction. 142 papers were presented during the
conference and participants came from 18 countries. The plenary
session and keynote speakers were: J. M. Kelly, IBM Quality
Institute, Southbury, Connecticut; M. E. Merchant, Metcut Research,
Cincinnati, Ohio; Stellio Demark, ASEA Robotics, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Stanley J. Polcyn, Unimation Inc., Danbury, Connecticut;
Carl Ruoff,Jet Propulsion Lab, Pasadena, California; Joseph
Tulkoff, Lockheed Georgia Company, Marietta, Georgia; N. M. Swani,
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India; James R. Barrett,
Computer Vision, Bedford, Maryland; Hadi A. Akeel, GMF Robotics,
Troy, Michigan; John M.
