Welcome to Technical Committee on Collaborative Automation for Flexible Manufacturing
Scope
In the era of Industry 4.0, the integration of humans and machines in manufacturing is more crucial than ever. Traditional automation and flexible manufacturing systems are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of mass customization and market fluctuations. Instead, human-robot collaboration is becoming the key to achieving adaptability and efficiency.
The RAS Technical Committee on Collaborative Automation for Flexible Manufacturing (CAFM) aims to bridge academia and industry, driving innovation in human-robot interaction. With advancements in collaborative robotics, AI, and high-speed connectivity, we explore challenges such as safety, task allocation, learning, and ergonomics. Our mission is to foster discussions and develop cutting-edge solutions for future manufacturing environments.
Join Us!
Whether you’re a researcher, engineer, or student, the CAFM Technical Committee offers a platform to engage with a forward-thinking community tackling real-world manufacturing challenges. By joining us, you’ll gain access to collaborative projects, technical events, and cross-disciplinary discussions that drive innovation. Help shape the next generation of flexible, intelligent automation — and be part of a network that turns ideas into impact.
