چکیده

Recent developments in several emerging fields enable us to think of the fields of prototype for robotics and automation in new ways and to consider new applications. Today, besides introducing the intelligence directly into equipments/systems through embedded microcomputers and providing virtual prototyping through enhanced CAD/CAE facilities, information flow has been well regarded as an essential part of the integrated design approach whereby all members of the prototype development and manufacturing automation team can work closely together throughout the design and manufacturing cycle. This focused issue contains five papers: this overview paper, the second and third related to automation, and the last two on robotics. We emphasize on the following two subtopics in this paper: the first is an overview for the development of a theory for prototyping discrete event and hybrid systems; and the second highlights elements of prototyping a machine vision for real-time automation applications.
