Manufacturing Systems, Indo-U.S. Workshop for Cooperative Research and Technology Transfer, New Delhi, India, April 1990, Award in U.S. Indian Currencies

描述：该项目支持美国参与一个美国-印度制造系统讲习班，定于1990年4月在印度新德里举行。印方协办方是位于新德里的印度理工学院机械工程系的Rakesh萨加尔博士。所涉及的主题包括：计算机辅助设计，运动学，动力学，仿真，计算机图形学，离线编程，机器人之间的相互作用，控制，视觉，机器智能，参数编程，变分几何，人工智能，专家系统，机器人设计，控制，维护和传感设备。与未来工厂运营相关的其他主题也将包括在内。预计研讨会将确定需要研究的适当领域、美国和印度可用于该研究的设施以及印度和美国机构之间可能的合作研究项目。范围：制造系统领域对美国提高竞争力至关重要。这对像印度这样的国家也很重要，因为他们需要建立高效的工厂，以增加其不断增长的工业基础。两国科学界都对发展这一多学科领域有着浓厚的兴趣。包括廉价计算机和复杂专用软件在内的重要工具的迅速增长使这一发展更加令人兴奋和具有挑战性。这两个国家都将从他们的人才和专业知识中获益，以推动这一科学领域的发展。

Description: This project supports U.S. participation in a U.S.-Indo workshop on manufacturing systems, scheduled to be held in April 1990 in New Delhi, India. The Indian co-organizer is Dr. Rakesh Sagar of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi. The topics to be covered include: computer-aided design, kinematics, dynamics, simulation, computer graphics, off-line programming, interaction between robotics, control, vision, machine intelligence, parametric programming, variational geometry, artificial intelligence, expert systems, robotics' design, control, maintenance and sensory devices. Other topics related to the operation of the factory of the future would also be included. It is expected that the workshop will result in identifying the appropriate areas where research is needed, the facilities available for that research in the U.S. and in India, and possible cooperative research projects between Indian and U.S. institutions. Scope: The area of manufacturing systems is extremely important to the U.S. for improving its competitivness. It is also important to countries like India who need to build efficient factories as they add to their growing industrial base. There is significant interest in the scientific communities of both countries to develop this multidisciplinary area. The rapid growth in the availability of important tools including inexpensive computers and sophisticated and dedicated software makes that development more exciting and challenging. Both countries stand to gain from bringing their talents and expertise to advance this scientific field.
