6 PREFACE Here is one of the first really thorough presentations on smart robots. Robots, machine vision systems, sensors, manipulators, expert systems, and artificial intelligence concepts combined in state-of-the-art computer integrated manufacturing systems. These "smart" robots increase productivity and improve the quality of our products. This comprehensive volume, which is extensively illustrated, provides a unique synthesis and overview of the emerging field of smart robots, the basic approaches for each of the constituents systems, the techniques used, applications, the descriptions of current hardware or software projects, a review of the state-of-the-art of the technology, current research and development efforts, and trends in the development of smart robots. All of the information has been compiled from a wide variety of knowledgeable sources and recent government reports. An extensive selection of photographs, diagrams and charts amplify this book. The contents of major chapters include: Introduction to smart robots Artificial intelligence for smart robots Smart robot systems Sensor-controlled robots Machine vision systems Robot manipulators Natural language processing Expert systems and Computer integrated manufacturing Smart Robots presents the state-of-the-art in intelligent robots. It is designed to help the reader develop an understanding of industrial applications of smart robots as well as the new technological developments. Smart Robots is an outstanding introduction to the integration and application of machine vision systems, sensors, expert systems, and artificial intelligence technology. This book is useful for manufacturing
7 viii Preface engineers and managers interested in learning more about smart robots which can increase productivity and reduce manufacturing costs. Its glossary of terms, bibliography, points of contact, and index provide an excellent easy reference to specific topical information. v. Daniel Hunt Fairfax Station, Virginia
8 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The information in Smart Robots has been compiled from a wide variety of authorities who are specialists in their respective fields. I wish to thank Dr. William B. Gevarter of the National Bureau of Standards for his research, synthesis, and PUBLICATION of information on intelligent robot systems. The following public domain publications were used as the basic technical resources for this book. An Overview of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Volumes 1 and 2, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, June 1983, NASA TM An Overview of Computer Vision, US Department of Commerce, September 1982, PB An Overview of Computer-Based Natural Language Processing, National Bureau of Standards, April 1983, PB Overview of Expert Systems, National Bureau of Standards, October 1982, PB Flexible Manufacturing System Handbook, Volumes 1-4, Charles Stark Draper Laboratories, NTIS, ADA-I27927, February The preparation of a book of this type is dependent upon an excellent staff, and I have been fortunate in this regard. Karen L. Ackerman has effectively served as technical editor of this book and has also carefully proofread the text. Special thanks are extended to Janet C. Hunt for research assistance, and Margaret Kubatz of Wordcom, Inc. for the manuscript word processing.
