drill wear is more consistent, and tools do not break.
The aim in increasing the level of intelligence of machine or
assembly controls is to reduce the need for attention and program-
ming. The extra “senses” needed are vision sensors, force sensors,
optical sensors, and metrological sensors. With a vision system, the
controller of the robot or machine will be able to recognize the work-
piece, determine its precise position, and instruct the machine to
carry out the necessary operations. Thus, it will not be necessary to
