CAD/CAM Robotics and Factories of the Future Volume III: Robotics and Plant Automation

The complete shop floor automation - a "lights out factory", where workers initially set up all machines, turn off the lights, lock the door and the machine churns up the parts - remains an unfulfilled dream. Yet when we look at the enormity of the process of automation and integration eve...
