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.
