From the Publisher

This text addresses the use of robots for flexible automation from a manufacturing systems viewpoint -- i.e., how robots interface with all the manufacturing hardware and software. It contains an abundance of industrial applications, and weaves a major case study throughout -- allowing students to follow -- and join -- an automation design team as they work through each stage of the design process. An accompanying disk and video provide project data.
