The experience of automation of the specifications making of the projects of renovation of the industrial enterprises is described, being based on the special modules in the drawing containing the visible image and additional parameters, and electronic catalogues

The paper describes three applications of industrial robot in shoe production. Two of them – automation of shoe lasting machine and automation of finishing process are extremely difficult to automate and are according to our knowledge first successful automation of the above processes. The focus of the paper is on automatic robot trajectory generation directly from CAD shoe design data. The pap...

Lojban is a constructed language based on predicate logic, with no syntactic ambiguity and carefully controllable semantic ambiguity. It originated in the middle of the last century, and there is now a community of several hundred human speakers. It is argued here that Lojban++, a minor variation on Lojban, would be highly suitable as a language for communication between humans and early-stage ...

OBJECTIVE The authors discuss empirical studies of human-automation interaction and their implications for automation design. BACKGROUND Automation is prevalent in safety-critical systems and increasingly in everyday life. Many studies of human performance in automated systems have been conducted over the past 30 years. METHODS Developments in three areas are examined: levels and stages of ...

Productivity gap on SoC design is a challenge to address in design method research area. Main research topics in this area address this problem using many schemes and methods. Software for automation in a system design and implementation is one solution to address design time efficiency. The second one is parallelism concept in hardware/software co-design. This approach addresses both design ti...

Designing consumer products has grown more challenging due to the increasingly complex characteristics of these products. Design research has promoted the use of scenarios –concrete stories about product useto support the design process. However, design practice still lacks a thorough guidance that integrates various scenario uses effectively. In this paper, we describe a software concept that ...

Floorplan and placement are very critical problems in ULSI CAD design. The common ULSI system design objectives are such as improving or maximizing wiring ability, reliability and/or yield, and reducing or minimizing chip size, power consumption, crosstalk and coupling noise. These are crucial factors in designing next generation EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools. Semiconductor scaling l...

The number of people with dementia is rising every year, and it is getting more expensive to provide care for them in specially designed care centres. Furthermore, some people with dementia prefer to live independently, and to be accompanied by informal and family caregivers. One way to meet this requirement of people with dementia is to place them in smart homes. Smart homes facilitate extra c...
