Abstract

The JTECH* Report highlights the progress of the Japanese manufacturing community. The report is interesting because it not only offers a view of the current Japanese production philosophy, but also describes developments in the components making up that production capability. The components included in that technology assessment are:

  • manipulators and actuators

  • precision mechanisms

  • machine vision system

  • non vision sensor systems

  • artificial intelligence

  • software for mechatronics

  • flexible manufacturing systems

  • assembly/inspection system
