Full textAbstract:
The authors are developing a theory for human control of robot teams based on considering how control difficulty grows with team size. Current work focuses on domains, such as foraging, in which robots perform largely independent tasks. Such tasks are particularly amenable to analysis because effects on performance and cognitive resources are predicted to be additive, and tasks can safely be allocated across operators because of their independence. The present study addresses the interaction between automation and organization of human teams in controlling large robot teams performing an urban search-and-rescue (USAR) task. Two possible ways to organize operators were identified: as individual assignments of robots to operators, assigned robots, or as a shared pool in which operators service robots from the population as needed. The experiment compares two-person teams of operators controlling teams of 12 robots each in the assigned-robots condition or sharing control of 24 robots in the shared-pool condition using either waypoint control in the manual condition or autonomous path planning in the autonomy condition. Automating path planning improved system performance, but process measures suggest it may weaken situation awareness.

Automation has become the prior need to meet up the growing trends of industries today. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor. However, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision. Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical electronic and computers, usually in combination. This paper deals with the printing of days and dates on the watch indicators using an automated system. This automated system comprises of a robot (cobra i600) and PLC controlled mechanics. The conventional printing was done using pad printing method, which was controlled by manual operations. The manual operations involve (70-80%) human effort; number of indicators being printed in span of 8 hours (1500 - 2000 indicators) and it also depends on the workers efficiency.

Abstract ITA and EMBRAER are currently executing the research project Automation of Aircraft Structural Assembly (AASA) whose goal is to implement a robotic cell for automating the riveting process of aeronautical structures. The proposal described herein complements the AASA project, adds other manufacturing processes, namely sanding and polishing of aircraft surfaces. To implement the additional processes AASA project resources and facilities were used (robots and metrology systems) and devices designed and /or acquired to allow sharing of these resources. Among these, an Automatic Tooling Support for AERonautics structures (ATS_AER) was designed and built; also, a robot tool changer with high load capacity was acquired. The outcome of this research project is the evaluation of the feasibility of automating the processes of sanding and polishing metal surfaces in the aircraft manufacture using robots. The operating method adopted for surface treatment employed the ‘U’ type trajectory optimised to be run by a KUKA robot KR 500. The sanding process has been applied to aluminum metal sheet specimen sized 2•18ft2 (0•20m2) and used commercial 600 and 800 sandpaper. The automated sanding process yielded an average value of RA 0•48 ± 0•08 which is 25% more efficient when compared to the traditional, manual process whose average value of RA is 0•75 ± 0•51.

Full textAbstract:
The paper seeks to explain the concept of robotic process automation (RPA), the ways it impacts accounting, and suggest future research directions. A literature review of previous studies and state-of-the-art sources has been conducted to reveal research gaps. The results provide insights into the nature of the accounting transformation. The potential for automating accounting processes with RPA is high, and robots are predicted to replace accountants for a considerable part of their tasks. That could lead to the disappearance of entry-level accounting positions and, simultaneously, the creation of new accountant roles. Future accountants’ responsibilities will go beyond bookkeeping and financial reporting towards business advisory and leading the RPA transformation. The change entails the need to improve their soft skills, and technology and data skills. It calls for more studies on an effective method to integrate these skills into the accounting education model. Further research is required to examine the potential negative effects of employing robots. These relate to the unnecessary human-robot competition, unintended organisational structure changes, deskilling, and building expertise and knowledge management. Finally, to obtain a more comprehensive view of the impacts of RPA performance, more in-depth research is needed to account for all the financial and non-financial effects of RPA implementation.

Abstract Mobile robots are enjoying increasing popularity in a number of different automation tasks. Omnidirectional mobile robots especially allow for a very flexible operation. They are able to accelerate in every direction, regardless of their orientation. In this context, we developed our own robot platform for research on said types of robots. It turns out that these mobile robots show interesting behaviour, which commonly used models for omnidirectional mobile robots fail to reproduce. As the exact sources and structures of mismatches are still unknown, non-parametric Gaussian process regression is used to develop a data-based model extension of the robot. A common control task for industrial applications is trajectory tracking, where a robot needs to follow a predefined path, for example in a warehouse, as close as possible in space and time. Appropriate feed-forward solutions for the data-based model are developed and finally leveraged in closed-loop control via nonlinear model predictive control. In real-world experiments, the results are compared to commonly used proportional position-based feedback. This novel contribution builds upon the preliminary work in [7] but, for the first time, includes also closed-loop (trajectory) tracking.

Robotics automation has increasingly been used in Japanese shipbuilding companies in accordance with the change of the circumstances i.e. a decreasing of labor force and wage hikes, especially for arc welding at hull block assembly stage. In order to get good cost performance for the investment, the hull production system should be reviewed as suitable to the robot system, and it is necessary to modify and add some functions to the standard model of welding robots. Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI) has developed a new production system "Unit panel and slit process", which is suitable for production automation, and has developed a fully automated robot welding system at the assembly stage. The system includes an automatic material transfer system, robot positioning system and NC (off-line) teaching system. The system has been successfully applied at IHI shipyard.

In many outdoor robotic applications several factors have to be taken into account during a path planning process. In different situations the importance of these factors vary. This paper presents a path planning method for mobile robots that incorporates decision theory to guide the search. A neural structure is proposed to determine the relative importance of the objectives that makes the robot capable of planning in unfamiliar situations. The method is able to handle an arbitrary number of objectives simultaneously and also enables the incorporation of human logic into the planning process. All parts of the algorithm suit real-time implementation.

The joining process for glass reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes is external and internal. Currently, internal and external connections are performed manually, and there are frequent delays in the process, excessive labor costs, and safety problems. An automated process using robots has advantages such as rapid processing, reduction of manpower, and safety. In this study, we developed a pipe root with an automated tape layered machine (ATL) to improve the bonding process inside the GRP pipe. A safety assessment was performed when the load generated during the development of the pipe root and the operation of the robot was applied to the GRP pipe. From the results of the configuration and performance tests of the developed robot, it was shown that the developed robot was sufficiently safe to operate inside the GRP pipe and that the required automation process capability was satisfactory.

As people attempt to build biomimetic robots and realize automation processes through artificial intelligence, computational intelligence plays a very important role in robotics and automation. This special issue contains several important papers that address various aspects of computational intelligence in robotics and automation. While acknowledging its limited coverage, this special issue offers a range of interesting contributions such as intelligent trajectory planning for flying and land mobile robots, fuzzy decision making, control of rigid and teleoperated robots, modeling of human sensations, and intelligent sensor fusion techniques. Let us scan through these contributions of this special issue. The first paper, "Planar Spline Trajectory Following for an Autonomous Helicopter," by Harbick et al., proposes a technique for planar trajectory following for an autonomous aerial robot. A trajectory is modeled as a planar spline. A behavior-based control system stabilizes the robot and enforces trajectory following of an autonomous helicopter with a reasonable trajectory tracking error on the order of the size of the helicopter (1.8m). In the second paper, "A Biologically Inspired Approach to Collision-Free Path Planning and Tracking Control of a Mobile Robot," by Yang et al., a novel biologically inspired neural network approach is proposed for dynamic collision-free path planning and stable tracking control of a nonholonomic mobile robot in a non-stationary environment, based on shunting equations derived from Hodgkin and Huxley's biological membrane equation. The third paper, "Composite Fuzzy Measure and Its Application to Decision Making," by Kaino and Kaoru, builds a composite fuzzy measure from fuzzy measures defined on fuzzy measurable spaces using composite fuzzy weights by the authors, with a successful application to an automobile factory capital investment decision making problem. In "Intelligent Control of a Miniature Climbing Robot," by Xiao et al., a fuzzy logic based intelligent optimal control system for a miniature climbing robot to achieve precision motion control, minimized power consumption, and versatile behaviors is presented with validation via experimental studies. The fifth paper, "Incorporating Motivation in a Hybrid Robot Architecture," by Stoytchev and Arkin, describes a hybrid mobile robot architecture capable of deliberative planning, reactive control, and motivational drives, which addresses three main challenges for robots living in human-inhabited environments: operating in dynamic and unpredictable environment, dealing with high-level human commands, and engaging human users. Experimental results for a fax delivery mission in a normal office environment are included. In the next paper, "Intelligent Scaling Control for Internet-based Teleoperation," by Liu et al., an adaptive scaling control scheme, with a neural network based time-delay prediction algorithm trained using the maximum entropy principle, is proposed with successful experimental studies on an Internet mobile robot platform. The next paper, "Feature Extraction of Robot Sensor Data Using Factor Analysis for Behavior Learning," by Fung and Liu, discusses important knowledge extraction of sensor data for robot behavior learning using a new approach based on the inter-correlation of sensor data via factor analysis and construction of logical perceptual space by hypothetical latent factors. Experimental results are included to demonstrate the process of logical perceptual space extraction from ultrasonic range data for robot behavior learning. "Trajectory Planning of Mobile Robots Using DNA Computing," by Kiguchi et al., presents an optimal trajectory planning method for mobile robots using Watson-Crick pairing to find the shortest trajectory in the robot working area with the DNA sequences representing the locations of the obstacles removed during the process. The proposed algorithm is especially suitable for computing on a DNA molecular computer. In the ninth paper, "Computational Intelligence for Modeling Human Sensations in Virtual Environments," by Lee and Xu, cascade neural networks with node-decoupled extended Kalman filter training for modeling human sensations in virtual environments are proposed, with a stochastic similarity measure based on hidden Markov models to calculate the relative similarity between model-generated sensations and actual human sensations. A new input selection technique, based on independent component analysis capable of reducing the data size and selecting the stimulus information, is developed and reported. The next paper, "Intelligent Sensor Fusion in Robotic Prosthetic Eye System," by Gu et al., is concerned with the design, sensing and control of a robotic prosthetic eye that moves horizontally in synchronization with the movement of the natural eye. It discusses issues on sensor failure detection and recovery and sensor data fusion techniques using statistical methods and artificial neural network based methods. Simulation and experimental results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results. The final contribution in our collection is a paper by Sun et al., entitled "A Position Control of Direct-Drive Robot Manipulators with PMAC Motors Using Enhanced Fuzzy PD Control." It presents a simple and easy-to-implement position control scheme for direct-drive robot manipulators based on enhanced fuzzy PD control, incorporating two nonlinear tracking differentiators into a conventional PD controller. Experiments on a single-link manipulator directly driven by a permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motor demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach. The Guest Editors would like to thank the contributors and reviewers of this special issue for their time and effort in making this special issue possible. They would also like to express their sincere appreciation to the JACIII editorial board, especially Profs. Kaoru and Fukuda, Editors-in-Chief and Kenta Uchino, Managing Editor, for the opportunity and help they provided for us to put together this special issue.

Full textAbstract:
Analytical Network process (ANP), is applied here as a decision making technique for the selection of appropriate robots for industrial and automation applications. The core motivation of applying, in particular, the ANP technique is that robot selection is dependent upon a number of attributes and criteria which have strong influences/interdependencies upon each other. The ANP, as a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) technique for robot selection, captures the effects of these cross hierarchical dependencies, and appropriately maps the influences within the clusters and between the various alternatives. Simultaneously, the technique does not include the assumption of independence of higher-level elements from lower level elements and about the independence of the elements within a level. First, a set of attributes, which influence the selection of the robots, are identified. Next, using the various steps of ANP, viz., pair wise comparisons matrices and priority vectors determination and the development of the super-matrix the global weights of the attributes with respect to other attributes are determined. The final alternatives are then rated as per the graduated weights of the respective attributes. Thus, a comprehensive solution towards selection of robots enabling the decision-makers to suitably understand the complex relationships of the relevant qualitative and quantitative attributes in the decision-making is obtained. The technique is also illustrated using detailed analysis for a specific case of decision making between three robot suppliers and selection of appropriate robot from alternatives. In order to get more insight into relationships among various attributes and their effect on decision makers, the sensitivity analysis of the results with respect to determinant level attributes is carried out.

Full textAbstract:
Even though modern industrial robots have good repeatabilities, their positioning accuracies are still relatively poor. Moreover, in a complex process chain, involving several handling systems and diverse interdependent tasks, error propagation can make matters worse. In order to achieve the overall desired quality level, intelligent and highly adaptive methods are required to reduce individual errors and remove accuracy couplings as much as possible. This is especially true in high-risk applications, as found in the aviation MRO industry. Because of the difficulty to replicate existing manual MRO accuracy levels, automation in this area is still relatively scarce. For instance the inspection and repair of airplane combustion chamber liners are as yet performed fully manually. In this paper an automated version of the entire liner repair chain is introduced: from robot-guided white light interferometer inspection in a first cell, to part and data transfer to a second robot cell through to the automated repair steps. Particular consideration is given to individual error sources, such as robot and sensor inaccuracies, calibration deviations and the transfer of data between robot cells, as well as error propagation and prevention.

Abstract Two automation methods for aseptic preparation in hospital pharmacy, robot and peristaltic pump, were compared to manual process both for risk analysis using Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) method and for productivity using time analysis grids built for each process. The results obtained with the different workflow organizations showed that the worst-case conditions for productivity was production “on demand” of tailor-made preparations. in that case, the manual process was not significantly different from the robotic process (p-value=0.72). For the standardized preparations, the semi-automatic process preparing a batch from bulk solution from “to be reconstituted” drugs was significantly superior to the robotic process preparing repetitive series of doses (p-value<0.01). Productivity of the robot was dramatically increased when the robot performed standardized preparations either from ready to use solutions or mixed cycles due to the robot design. When different processes were FMECA analyzed for risk analysis the robotic process was found as the safer process in comparison to others with a total of Criticality Indexes of 1060, 719, 656 for manual, semi-automatic and robot, respectively. Except for the robotic, semi-automatic and manual processes needed additional IT control systems to limit the risk of failures.

Intelligent automation, including robotics, is one of the current trends in the manufacturing industry in the context of “Industry 4.0”, where cyber-physical systems control the production at automated or semi-automated factories. Robots are perfect substitutes for a skilled workforce for some repeatable, general, and strategically-important tasks. However, this transformation is not always feasible and immediate, since certain technologies do not provide the required degree of flexibility. The introduction of collaborative robots in the industry permits the combination of the advantages of manual and automated production. In some processes, it is necessary to incorporate robots from different manufacturers, thus the design of these multi-robot systems is crucial to guarantee the maximum quality and efficiency. In this context, this paper presents a novel methodology for process automation design, enhanced implementation, and real-time monitoring in operation based on creating a digital twin of the manufacturing process with an immersive virtual reality interface to be used as a virtual testbed before the physical implementation. Moreover, it can be efficiently used for operator training, real-time monitoring, and feasibility studies of future optimizations. It has been validated in a use case which provides a solution for an assembly manufacturing process.

<p>The design of the arms of industrial robots and manipulators is a demanding process both in ter ms of expertise and in terms of the time required. For these reasons, algorithms have been created, with the help of which it is possible to design cross - sections of individual arms of robots and manipulators not only from the point of view of maximum allo wed deflection but also from the point of view of minimizing cross - sectional dimensions or minimizing the weight of arms. These algorithms were subsequently used in the development of the software tool RobotArmDesign, with the help of which it is possible to simplify and shorten the arm design process significantly. This tool also has a connection to the SolidWorks CAD system and its simulation tools through its API interface, making it possible to refine robot arms designs while maintaining significantly s horter design times than would be the case with commonly used procedures. This tool's capabilities were demonstrated in the design of a robot arm with an angular structure and five degrees of freedom.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Robotic cells are widely used in the fields of incorporate automation and repetitive processing. Throughput analysis and scheduling of robotic cells with machine process have been well studied, while research work on robotic cells with machine–robot process in which robots concurrently perform collaborated tasks in addition to part transportation is still at an early stage. After defining the concepts of internal and external time window constraints, we propose a robotic cell scheduling problem with machine process and machine–robot process simultaneously, when processing time window is an essential constraint. According to the constraints in real engineering practice, a mathematic model of single-gripper robotic cells is established to minimize the average manufacturing cycle time. A shifting bottleneck searching algorithm is proposed based on the basis of analyses. In addition, a lower bound for the average manufacturing cycle time is established. Finally, through extensive simulation experiments, the numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the shifting bottleneck searching provides optimal or near optimal solutions.

Urgency of the research. One of the top trends in the field of mechanical engineering is automation. An inherent part of automation in today's businesses is industrial robots of various categories. In today's industrial production, human and robot are usually separated from each other in order to avoid potential collisions. Continuous development and the growing trend of robotics, in order to increase competitiveness, abandons this individual and isolated robot deployment and prevents group-building of human-robot workplaces. Target setting. The reason for designing industrial robots with capacity around 5-10kg according to human anatomy is that the transition from semi-automated production (operating lines controlled by operators) to fully automated production requires industrial robots that have dimensions similar to human anatomy. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The current production of robot devices reaches a high technical level, which is further enhanced by the continued development of their subsystems, but also by the upgrading of functional principles and elements that are involved in the architecture and morphology of these devices. The research objective. To what extent is it possible for the work process to be mechanized or automated depends also on the level of development of the used equipment. In today's development stage, design of automated device is also automated. The statement of basic materials: From the point of view of approaching the design of robots systems means a common sign is a mechatronic approach. Robots technical devices are a typical product with all the features of mechatronics (linking knowledge of engineering, management methods and artificial intelligence). This becomes the starting point for the elaboration of the methods of designing robots at all. Conclusions. This article focuses on the design of the robotics devices, whose main task is to perform the assembly. The future of deploying human-robot collaboration has enormous boundaries and many variables that still need to be addressed. It is important to remember that this technology is not about replacing people with robots. Rather, it is about using robust human features and robot strengths to achieve a new level of efficiency and productivity that could not be achieved by self-employment.

The continued growth in life sciences is being accompanied by the constantly rising demand for robotic systems. Today, bioscreening and high–throughput screening processes are well automated. In contrast, a deficit can be found in the area of analytical measurements with complex and frequently changing processes. Robots undertake not only transportation tasks, but also direct sample manipulation and subsequent analytical measurements. Due to their human-like structure, dual-arm robots perform such processes similar to human operation. Liquid handling is required to transfer chemicals, to prepare standard solutions, or to dilute samples. Two electronic pipettes with different volume ranges (5–200 µL and 50–1000 µL) were integrated into a dual–arm robotic system. The main focus in this publication is the software interface for alternating robot and pipette control as well as the high–level process control system. The performance using a dual–arm robot equipped with electronic pipettes and conventional manual pipettes was determined and compared. The automation system presented is the first integration of a dual-arm robot in analytical measurement processes. Conventional manual laboratory pipettes and electronic pipettes are simultaneously used for liquid-handling tasks. The software control system enables a flexible and user-friendly process generation.

Full textAbstract:
In gas turbines and turbo jet engines, high performance materials such as nickel-based alloys are widely used for blades and vanes. In the case of repair, finishing of complex turbine blades made of high performance materials is carried out predominantly manually. The repair process is therefore quite time consuming. And the costs of presently available repair strategies, especially for integrated parts, are high, due to the individual process planning and great amount of manually performed work steps. Moreover, there are severe risks of partial damage during manually conducted repair. All that leads to the fact that economy of scale effects remain widely unused for repair tasks, although the piece number of components to be repaired is increasing significantly. In the future, a persistent automation of the repair process chain should be achieved by developing adaptive robot assisted finishing strategies. The goal of this research is to use the automation potential for repair tasks by developing a technology that enables industrial robots to re-contour turbine blades via force controlled belt grinding.

The role of mobile robots for cleaning and sanitation purposes is increasing worldwide. Disinfection and hygiene are two integral parts of any safe indoor environment, and these factors become more critical in COVID-19-like pandemic situations. Door handles are highly sensitive contact points that are prone to be contamination. Automation of the door-handle cleaning task is not only important for ensuring safety, but also to improve efficiency. This work proposes an AI-enabled framework for automating cleaning tasks through a Human Support Robot (HSR). The overall cleaning process involves mobile base motion, door-handle detection, and control of the HSR manipulator for the completion of the cleaning tasks. The detection part exploits a deep-learning technique to classify the image space, and provides a set of coordinates for the robot. The cooperative control between the spraying and wiping is developed in the Robotic Operating System. The control module uses the information obtained from the detection module to generate a task/operational space for the robot, along with evaluating the desired position to actuate the manipulators. The complete strategy is validated through numerical simulations, and experiments on a Toyota HSR platform.

Robot positioning accuracy plays an important role in industrial automation applications. In this paper, a method is proposed for the improvement of robot accuracy with an optical tracking system that integrates a least-square numerical algorithm for the identification of kinematic parameters. In the process of establishing the system kinematics model, the positioning errors of the tool and the robot base, and the errors of the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters are all considered. In addition, the linear dependence among the parameters is analyzed. Numerical simulation based on a 6-axis UR robot is performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Then, the method is implemented on the actual robot, and the experimental results show that the robots can reach desired poses with an accuracy of ±0.35 mm for position and ±0.07° for orientation. Benefitting from the optical tracking system, the proposed procedure can be easily automated to improve the robot accuracy for applications requiring high positioning accuracy such as riveting, drill, and precise assembly.

Remanufacturing is one of the main practices toward a circular economy and industrial sustainability. Remanufacturing is highly dependent on how circular products are designed and developed. Remanufacturing can also benefit from automation for efficiency, accuracy and flexibility. This paper, via a multiple case study, connects the three areas of remanufacturing, product design and automation and investigates how circular product design can facilitate automation remanufacturing processes. First, circular product design guidelines are discussed with regard to remanufacturing. Second, potential areas for automation at three remanufacturers of electric and electronic equipment are pinpointed. Finally, design guidelines are connected to the identified potential automation areas in each remanufacturing process and discussed together. According to our results, the main incentives for automating remanufacturing processes are mainly related to the work environment, efficiency and quality. In addition, several design guidelines can facilitate automated remanufacturing processes; for instance, the standardization of components, fasteners and remanufacturing tools across different models and brands can also facilitate automated remanufacturing, where products can easily and nondestructively be disassembled by a robot or a machine.

The integration of lightweight robots and service robots into industrial work places forms the new area of industrial service robots characterized by the transformation of manual processes to human robot interactive processes. Still, it is highly difficult to decide which manual processes are qualified for automation or collaboration. Consequently, only few collaborative processes can be found in industry. The objective of the project MANUSERV is to support decisions towards this transfer by developing a tool that supports users to identify practical technical solutions. The tool is a combination of a planning system and a simulation system. The aim of the planning system is to select technically feasible solutions and generate task sequences that solve the problem. The simulation system verifies the proposed solution and evaluates it technically, economically, and ergonomically. Manufacturers of service robots can provide their service robot specifications to be included into the system selection process.

The most used joining process in industry today is the electric arc welding, EAW. After recalling the principle of the process, the authors present that development of EAW in the last half century is mainly due to the mechanization and automation. Earlier only rigid-type automation forms were used, for highly repetitive mass production – but later the industry requests demanded to find flexible forms of automation, capable of providing a diversified production based on welding and its related processes. Ways are then exemplified concerning mechanization of processes currently used in the industrial field: driving devices for the welding head having one or more axes, simple and complex rotation movements etc. The authors present both important developments of the essential components of EAW robotic systems, as well for robots and for welding equipment, developments that brought these systems to the current levels. The paper also proposes a new concept of programming robotic arc welding systems, consisting in maintaining the two arc ends on both TCP’s, one of the robot and the other of the workpiece. Then modern control methods developed for the welding process are described: programming the evolution of arc parameters in relation to the time; controlling of variation limits and directing the transfer of metal and energy through the arc. Finally, some examples and applications of robotized arc welding and related processes are presented.

SUMMARYToday mosaics are used as decorative elements both indoors and outdoors. Mosaics can be obtained by combining small pieces of stone, glass, wood and glazed tiles together to make some picture and illustration. Mosaic-making processes are carried out manually for thousand years. Complexities involved in piece selection, surface detection and mould fitting have limited the automation of this process. In this work, software that makes the mosaic patterning process automatic is developed. For this purpose, software named SMT V2 has been developed to obtain different mosaic patterning. The software also tested with experimental applications by selective compliance articulated robot arm (SCARA) robot on real environment using different shaped marble pieces and successful results are obtained.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for efficient and qualified measurements is high. The measurements of physical parameters in industrial environments usually are automatically executed using process measurement technologies. The close coupling of the measurement system and process equipment enables in-process data acquisition (inline or online). In contrast, compound-oriented measurements for the qualitative identification and quantitative determination of chemical elements and chemical compounds, or the determination of biological behavior, are still challenging in measurement processes. Today, biological assays as well as high-content and high-throughput screening procedures are well automated. It appears quite differently if the efficiency of analytical measurements should be improved. Due to the characteristics of the samples and processes, inline or online coupling is often not possible. Therefore, atline or offline couplings are gaining in importance. In combination with robotic systems, efficient automation of analytical measurements can be reached. The book Automation Solutions for Analytical Measurements: Concepts and Applications presents and discusses suitable automation concepts and a variety of realized robot-based analytical measurement systems. In this commentary, the main findings are highlighted and discussed.
