Abstract
The use of computer controlled manufacturing systems incorporating robots and flexible control is of paramount interest today. A number of economists have noted that strength in high technology industries such as aircraft, missiles, communications, electronic and computers, in contrast to older industries, gives the economy of any country strong long-term growth prospects.
During the past two decades, the concept of a flexible, programmable automation device, which has come to be known as an “industrial robot”, has become a reality. A variety of these automation modules have been developed, offering a wide range of capabilities and application possibilities. Robots currently help weld, cast, form, assemble, machine, transfer, inspect, load and unload parts into and out of a number of differing machines and processes.
The first part of this paper analyzes the significance of FMS in industries today. The second part of the paper attempts to evaluate some of the areas of savings as a result of using robots.
期刊介绍：
Robotics publishes original papers, technical reports, case studies, review papers and tutorials in all the aspects of robotics. Special Issues devoted to important topics in advanced robotics will be published from time to time. It particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques which bridge theoretical studies and applications and have significant potential for real-world applications. It provides a forum for information exchange between professionals, academicians and engineers who are working in the area of robotics, helping them to disseminate research findings and to learn from each other’s work. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to: -intelligent robotics, mechatronics, and biomimetics -novel and biologically-inspired robotics -modelling, identification and control of robotic systems -biomedical, rehabilitation and surgical robotics -exoskeletons, prosthetics and artificial organs -AI, neural networks and fuzzy logic in robotics -multimodality human-machine interaction -wireless sensor networks for robot navigation -multi-sensor data fusion and SLAM
