Compares the various features and advantages of using integrated robotic systems or dedicated workstations for drug discovery. Also describes hybrid systems. Provides guidance on the criteria for system selection.

Associating robot manipulators with industrial welding operations is common and maybe one of the most successful applications of industrial robots. Nevertheless, it is far from being a solved technological process, mainly because the welding process is not fully understood but also because...

This paper presents an overview of the x‐ray guided robotic radiosurgery system that has been developed for the ablation of solid tumors. A robot‐mounted linear accelerator is directed through a sequence of positions and orientations designed to deliver high radiation dosages focused at a...

Outlines Renault’s development of cost‐effective exhaust manufacturing systems using synchronous robotic welding aided by vision technology, reports on the accuracy problems encountered and the solutions implemented, relates how cycle times have been cut and quality improved.
