Abstract :
Important trends and events are highlighted. The use of fuzzy logic expanded. The use of programmable logic controllers in distributed control made headway. Low-cost vision systems were introduced, as were faster X-ray laminography systems. Growing emphasis on keeping humans who work around robots safe was evident. More robust motion and speed controls for both robots and motors became available
