Introduces designers to hardware and software tools necessary for planning, laying out, and building advanced robot-based manufacturing cells surveying the available technology for creating innovative machines suitable to individual needs. Considers assembly system simulation, task-oriented programm

Microsystem technology (MST) integrates very small (up to a few nanometers) mechanical, electronic, optical, and other components on a substrate to construct functional devices. These devices are used as intelligent sensors, actuators, and controllers for medical, automotive, household and many other purposes. This book is a basic introduction to MST for students, engineers, and scientists. It is the first of its kind to cover MST in its entirety. It gives a comprehensive treatment of all important parts of MST such as microfabrication technologies, microactuators, microsensors, development...

Vor zehn Jahren fand im November 1985 in Karlsruhe erstmals das Fachgesprlich uber "Autonome Mobile Systeme" statt. Seither fmdet es regeIma.6ig jedes Jam altemierend einma1 in MUnchen und dann wieder in Karlsruhe statt. Diese Tradition entwickelte sich insbesondere durch die Forschungsaktivititen des SFB 331 "Informationsverarbeitung in autonomen mobilen Handhabungssystemen" in Munchen und des SFB 314 "Kiinstliche Intelligenz" in Karlsruhe, die beide die Entwicklung autonomer Systeme zum Gegenstand hatten. 1m letzten Jam wurde das Fachgesprach erstmals in Stuttgart abgehalten, wo intensiv an...
