Manufacturing and Inspection Equipment for Efficient Production of Large LCDs

INTRODUCTION THE market for LCDs (liquid crystal displays) continues to be characterized by rapidly falling prices and the use of LCDs in large-screen TVs (televisions). As LCD TVs become larger, it has become necessary for the production lines that manufacture them to adopt larger mother glass substrates and increase production speed both to increase screen size and reduce the production cost ...

Modular Platforms for Advanced Inspection , Locomotion , and Manipulation – 17150

Robots can provide remote access, manipulation, and inspection capabilities to augment human workers and improve safety in potentially dangerous decommissioning, radioactive waste management, and emergency response operations. However, such activities may require navigating challenging and unstructured environments, such as those with uneven terrain, obstacles, or loose debris. This remains a d...
