RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT AT THE LABORATORY FOR CONTROL-SYSTEMS AND AUTOMATION OF THE KOREA-ADVANCED-INSTITUTE-OF-SCIENCE-AND-TECHNOLOGY

This paper describes the research activities at the Laboratory for Control Systems and Automation (LCA) which is a section of the Production Department of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). LCA's research activities are focused on providing fundamental technologies to cope with the current trends in manufacturing automation. The R & D activities at the laboratory cover diverse areas. The research activities at the laboratory are classified into three sections—robotics and automation, fluid servo control, and manufacturing process control. Detailed explanations are given here on robotics and its application to automation. As a laboratory belonging to a nation's leading educational institution, LCA also conducts active educational activities. Such educational programs are also introduced in detail. © 1990, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
