OSTI ID:5290782

The application of aerospace technologies to the re-industrialization of the most productive nations in the world represents a real challenge to the engineering profession today. The age of flexible automation and cognitive robot development has arrived along with computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). This paper examines the terminology, types of hardware and software utilized, and illustrations of remote-controlled manipulators and robotic systems which were observed while conducting a worldwide survey of state-of-the-art robotics and automation technology. Trends in the development of new sensor systems, precision control, and artificial intelligence are also explored. 5 references.
