AUTOMATICA 2008
10-13 June 2008
Neue Messe München
Hall B2, Booth 538
Industrially applicable robot technologies have so far been available only to a small extent for teaching and educational purposes. Instead, toy-like robots have been used for reasons of cost and simplicity of use/interfacing. Now, however, more modular and scalable SME-suitable parallel robot solutions (SME= small and medium-sized enterprise) - such as the Desktop "Plug-and-Produce" Robot - are creating new opportunities for mechanical design, feedback control, software interfaces and sophisticated software tools for robot programming:
- New mechatronic key components can be inexpensively fabricated and down-sized for classroom use.
- Improved modularity allows students to assemble robots that still retain their industrially relevant dynamics and kinematic properties.
- Software interfaces supporting Microsoft Robotics Studio.
- 3D graphics software tools supporting Plug-and-Play paradigm.
- Open-source software supporting individual 3D graphics simulation and further control developments

English
You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
