INTERNATIONAL DEDICATED CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS, MOTION AND MACHINE VISION Aachen, Germany 31st O c t o b e r - 4 t h N o v e m b e r
1994
Robotics, motion control, and machine vision play a vital role in any manufacturing. Historically, the auto and transportation industry in general has been the driving force for this technology. We can witness in today's manufacturing that robots and motion are using vision guidance more often than in the past. In many cases the old "stand alone" robot applications are now being retrofit with vision, and general motion controllers are being used to drive different robots. Furthermore, many vision systems are forced to use motion devices to move the camera or the part to perform required gauging or other vision inspections. The misunderstanding of some vision issues by robot professionals, and some motion issues by vision professionals is slowing down many projects. The objective of this conference is to bring professionals from both fields together so that they can share their experience. This conference is dedicated to practical industrial applications and existing products. This meeting will also be concerned with the economical viability of applications. Therefore we strongly encourage papers which deal with cost analysis and performance/cost optimisation considering speed, accuracy, available features and tools, software cost, hardware cost, engineering time, and maintenance time.
