As robots become more complex by incorporating dynamic stability or greater mechanical degrees of freedom, the difficulty of developing control algorithms directly on the robot in...
Carousel storage systems are often used to increase storage density, throughput and efficiency while reducing inventory and man-hours. The Hewlett-Packard company has developed a ...
Simulation models provide a powerful tool for the analysis of manufacturing systems, but their utility beyond the design stage of the system life cycle is hampered by the high cos...
Creating comprehensive simulation models can be expensive and time consuming. This paper discusses our efforts to develop a general methodology that will allow users to quickly an...
— Production automation systems consist of many entities (like robots and shuttles) that interact in complex ways to provide the overall system functionality like product assembl...
