Abstract

Describes the approach adapted by Robot Simulations Ltd in their development of successive versions of the Workspace software package, namely to place the emphasis on using the knowledge of the geometry of the parts and machines in a production cell to automate those aspects of the traditional design method that can be performed by the computer. Also describes how some of the task planning tools embedded within robot simulation can work and what they can deliver in terms of shortening the design time of a production cell and improving the speed and quality of the production process.

Abstract

Describes how a robot simulation software package was used to perform the simulation, calibration and Off‐line programming of a waterjet‐cutting workcell, used for cutting pelts. The workcell consisting of a robot using an RJ controller and the TP robot language had to cut four parts from one pelt. Describes the difficulties encountered using manual programming and how the robot simulation package solved the problems of accuracy and repeatability. Concludes that parts were cut to a higher accuracy and programming time was drastically reduced using the simulation software.

Abstract

Examines the problem of the robot and fixture calibration from the perspective of simulation and off‐line programming. Looks at the two basic methods of measuring robot position—optical systems and cable‐driven systems—and describes examples of both of these methods. The Workspace PC‐based robot simulation system and the RoboTrak three‐cable measuring system for calibration are used as examples and compared with other commercial systems, and a calibration case study is presented. Concludes that if the accuracy required by a robot application of the order of 1 mm and the robot program is to be generated by an off‐line software package, then it is necessary to calibrate the robot first.

Abstract

A report from a meeting of the Institution of Electrical Engineers at which the problem was considered of the shortfall between robot simulation in the design office and the reality of the robot in operation on factory floor Discusses the importance of cell calibration if Off‐line programming is to be effective and the need for more accurate programming with modules that precisely simulate the motion behaviour of robots.

Abstract

Adopting an EU policy lens, this chapter primarily addresses the proposed pivotal role of firm-level innovation capability (FLIC) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as a stimulant of sustainable development (SD) and green growth in Ireland/Wales. The chapter specifically examines the scale and scope of the green economy (GE), and considers the importance of organizational inherent “green” innovation capabilities (GICs) to achieve it. Underpinning the study is the methodology and concept of utilizing a facilitated cross-border multi-stakeholder learning network to enable knowledge transfer and exchange practices to flourish between partners, acting as a significant predictor of the development of SME GICs structures. Specifically, against the backdrop of the Green Innovation and Future Technologies (“GIFT” hereafter) INTERREG 4A Project, the research assesses how academic–industry partner exchange and inter-group learning and cooperation facilitates the development of GICs in smaller enterprises to realize a sustainable smart green economy in Ireland.

Abstract

Currently in Great Britain 12.9% of the workforce are unemployed — over three million people. Within this overall total there are considerable variations in the levels of employment in different parts of the country. Even within individual local authorities there will be sizeable differences in the actual size of unemployment from one town to another.

Abstract

Microstructure noise contaminates high-frequency estimates of asset price volatility. Recent work has determined a preferred sampling frequency under the assumption that the properties of noise are constant. Given the sampling frequency, the high-frequency observations are given equal weight. While convenient, constant weights are not necessarily efficient. We use the Kalman filter to derive more efficient weights, for any given sampling frequency. We demonstrate the efficacy of the procedure through an extensive simulation exercise, showing that our filter compares favorably to more traditional methods.

Abstract

Purpose

This chapter presents a brief history of the James Partridge Award from its founding in 1997 to the present day.

Methodology/approach

The history of the James Partridge Award is told as a narrative account. Both authors were personally involved in the founding and early development of the award.

Findings

The James Partridge Award has celebrated the accomplishments of African American information professionals since the first award was presented in 1998. The award is an important part of the Conference on Inclusion and Diversity in Library and Information Science.
