Abstract
This paper describes research into improving the performance of machine tools and robots. Techniques for improving accuracy, such as thermal compensation, automatic teaching, and force-based surface and edge finishing, are described. These techniques have been demonstrated to greatly improve the performance of machine tools and robots, but their application has been limited due to the proprietary nature of most industrial robot and machine tool controllers. The paper addresses the issue of proprietary architectures in the light of recent programs to standardize interfaces in the controller industry.Proceedings Title
