This paper describes the main aims of a new research project concerned with the implementation of automatic error recovery f ac i l i t i e s in industr ial robotics. An approach is discussed in which an existing manufacturing work ce l l is to be enhanced by the addition of a task event model contained in an error recovery knowledge base. This paper outlines the main design issues involved in ...

Gage, J. C. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 1-18. The subacute inhalation toxicity of 109 industrial chemicals. The inhalation toxicity of 109 substances has been studied by exposing experimental animals to known concentrations in air for periods of about three weeks. The toxic properties of these substances are reviewed in relation to the effects of similar compounds on animals and on man....

Nature of the Industry The motor vehicle is an intricate series of systems, subsystems, and components assembled into a final product. Each manufactured part or component is integrated into the vehicle; none is developed to exist separately. Vehicles are constantly changing as new technology or reengineered components are incorporated, and as new and updated models are designed in response to c...
