US-Taiwan Planning Meeting: Innovations in Advanced Manufacturing

该奖项支持佛罗里达理工学院的Pierre Larochelle教授计划访问台湾台南的国立成功大学。此行的目的是通过将所谓的螺旋理论应用于多维或多自由度的机器运动自动化，开发新一代自动化装配和制造技术的合作研究项目。此次计划访问将成为准备全面合作研究提案的基础。该活动旨在开发创新和更高效的制造技术，为两国经济做出积极贡献。这些技术可以使美国在全球市场上更具竞争力。参与这个项目也将为美国工程专业的学生在全球范围内参与做好准备。

This award supports a planning visit to the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan, by Prof. Pierre Larochelle of the Florida Institute of Technology. The purpose of the trip is to develop a collaborative research project on a new generation of automated assembly and manufacturing technologies by applying so-called screw theory to the automation of machine movement in multiple dimensions or degrees of freedom. This planning visit will be the basis for preparation of a full-scale collaborative-research proposal.This activity is aimed to develop innovative and more efficient manufacturing techniques that can make positive economic contributions in both countries. Such techniques can make the US more competitive on the global market. Participation in this project will also prepare US engineering students to be engaged globally.
