Mechanization and Automation. A Survey of Automation in Excavation.

Excavation in Space: A Survey of Automation Technologies

There is a real and driving need to integrate the disparate automation technologies in excavation for space mining. This paper describes the mining process on Earth as would be applied on another planetary body. Current technologies, commercial and research, are evaluated for their ability to autonomously carryout a task integrate with other tasks. A synthesized conceptual system design is cons...

Robotic Excavation in Contruction Automation - IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine

C onstruction is of prime economic significance to many industry sectors. Intense competition, shortages of skilled labor, and technological advances are forcing rapid change in the construction industry, thus motivating construction automation [1]. Earthmoving machines, such as bulldozers, wheel loaders, excavators, scrapers, and graders, are common in construction. Excavationbased operations ...

Iupac Automation and Mechanization in Clinical Microbiology

It is widely recognized that the diagnostic clinical laboratory has been revolutionized during recent years by extraordinary progress and instrumentation in automation. The microbiology and immunology laboratories have not developed until quite recently a sophisticated instrumentation and automation methodology. However, such advances are dependent on both modification and expansion of conventi...
