Abstract :
The problem of integrating sensor information from force, tactile, proximity and vision sensors to control an industrial robot assembly cell is investigated. Progress of research using both algorithmic and knowledge-based methods for multi-sensor integration is reviewed. Results are presented for an electric motor assembly task that utilises a commercial expert system shell for knowledge-based sensor fusion.<>
