Because of productivity requirements, or due to reliability, industries have been constantly equipping their floor with robots. In that sense, the chapter observed—in a fiberglass company—the chance of using a robot to execute a boring and repetitive task. The task mentioned is, actually, the manufacturing of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) molded grating. To confirm the possibility of using a robot to this job, a cost and time analysis was made about the whole molded gratings manufacturing process. Afterward, research about robotics was taken in parallel with the conception of the robot (named “roving-robot”). Calculations were made to the mechanical project of the robot. Applying computer-aided design (CAD), technical drawing and bill of materials were generated to permit the robot assembling. All of these project steps are presented in this chapter.","PeriodicalId":299353,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Automation in Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130698795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teleoperated master-slave robots, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, has become a standard of care during the last few decades, performing over a million procedures per year worldwide. Many believe that the next big step in the evolution of surgery is partial automation, which would ease the cognitive load on the surgeon, making them possible to pay more attention on the critical parts of the intervention. Partial and sequential introduction and increase of autonomous capabilities could provide a safe way towards Surgery 4.0. Unfortunately, autonomy in the given environment, consisting mostly of soft organs, suffers from grave difficulties. In this chapter, the current research directions of subtask automation in surgery are to be presented, introducing the recent advances in motion planning, perception, and human-machine interaction, along with the limitations of the task-level autonomy.","PeriodicalId":299353,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Automation in Manufacturing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130848039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
