Assembly and machine loading will dominate General Motors robotics programme

Abstract

Robot applications at General Motors have been primarily in spotwelding and, now, in highly automated paint spraying. But Ralph Behler, program director of robotics and machine perception at the GM Tech Centre, sees the future emphasis shifting to loading and assembly, with R & D now concentrating on sensing systems.
