标题：Manufacturing Prosperity: A Bold Strategy for National Wealth and Security
参考译名：制造业繁荣：国家富强与安全的大胆战略
简介：For decades, it’s been the strategy of many American manufacturing firms. But today, as many firms invest in overseas R&D, they’ve taken the trend a step further: “Invent there, manufacture there.” This strategy poses a serious challenge to national prosperity and security. This year, MForesight: Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight conducted a series of roundtables with diverse academic experts, business leaders, and policymakers in cities across the United States to address this “grand challenge” for America’s manufacturing sector. The goal was to identify actionable ideas for public and private stakeholders to reverse the trend and strengthen the underlying foundations of U.S. innovation and manufacturing.

标题：The Intelligent Journey to the Factory of the Future
参考译名：未来工厂的智能之旅
简介：We often speak about the technology (re)evolution that is driving the intelligent factory and Industry 4.0 –more robots, machines with embedded sensors that send signals to a networked factory, and machines that “talk” to each other and to the larger enterprise system. What we don’t often address is the role of the human in this intelligent factory operation. Pundits claim that the intelligent factory will replace workers with machines and will obsolete human intuition and decision-making through artificial intelligence (AI). What these pundits get wrong is that not every job can—or should—be displaced with technology.

标题：ENHANCING THE AGILITY AND PERFORMANCES OF A PROJECT WITH LEAN MANUFACTURING PRACTICES
参考译名: 利用精益制造实践提高项目的灵活性和效能
简介：This study presents the case study on implementation of Lean Kanban manufacturing principles into the existing Agile software development methodology. The aim of this study was to introduce the adjusted Lean principles which were seen as adequate for enhancing project agility (flexibility and adaptability) and to test if these changes consequently result in improved project team performances. In order to investigate possible effects of Lean approach on improved project agility (flexibility and capacity to adapt to changes), data from interviews, daily team meetings and sprint retrospective were examined. Furthermore, team velocity, defects rates and rework rate data were used for comparison of current Agile methodology success and proposed Lean Agile method. Results show that by adding adequate Lean Kanban principles based on needs of project and team, development process was improved. Defect rate notable decreased while velocity increased, mostly caused by Lean practices enabling more realistic effort estimation and optimized work flow. Moreover, team reported that improved visual management tools facilitated communication and made it more transparent, enabling better and faster problem solving and task management.

标题：PREDICTIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS IN INDUSTRY 4.0: TRENDS, BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES
参考译名： 工业4.0下制造系统的预测：趋势、机遇与挑战
简介：The fourth industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0, has tendency to push the boundaries of science and technology. This is especially true for the manufacturing industry. One of the biggest challenges facing the manufacturing industry today is how to make intelligent systems for production with "self-aware", "self-predict and "self-maintain" abilities. Predictive manufacturing systems (PMS) are new intelligent systems that provide these abilities in the production, processes and machines. The PMS combines different technologies and techniques: statistics, data mining, modelling and artificial intelligence methods. These technologies and techniques are used to convert data into information and make predictions about the observed system. This paper provides an overview of the various challenges, existing solutions and benefits of PMS, with a focus on success factors in Industry 4.0.

标题：Collision Avoidance System for Collaborative Robotics
参考译名：一种面向协作机器人的实时避碰系统
简介：In this paper a real-time collision avoidance algorithm, based on the method of artificial potentials an intended for collaborative robotics applications was studied. Within this work, the movements of a person are detected and acquired by a vision system and a dummy, developed to interact with a robot in a simulated workspace, replicates these actions. Ellipsoids are then defined to entirely include several parts of the dummy and the end-effector of the robot. The minimum distance between the ellipsoids of the dummy and the one of the end-effector is the input of the collision avoidance algorithm. The results of tests are presented to show the effectiveness of the algorithm. Finally, the influence of the velocity of the obstacle on the capability of the algorithm of ensuring safe collision avoidance is analyzed.

标题：Force and Tactile Sensors Give Robots a Feel for the Job
参考译名：力传感器和触觉传感器赋予机器人感觉
简介：Touch is one of our most valuable sensory inputs. Think about how you insert a key into a lock. You use your eyes to generally locate the position of the keyway, but you use your sense of touch to make the final adjustments as you slide the key into the opening. This comes naturally for humans. We barely think about it. Robots also benefit from the sense of touch. Force and tactile sensors enable robots to manipulate objects in less-structured environments with greater precision and sensitivity.

标题：Robot adaptation to human physical fatigue in human–robot co-manipulation
参考译名：在人机联合操作中适应人体疲劳的机器人
简介：In this paper, we propose a novel method for human–robot collaboration, where the robot physical behaviour is adapted online to the human motor fatigue. The robot starts as a follower and imitates the human. As the collaborative task is performed under the human lead, the robot gradually learns the parameters and trajectories related to the task execution. In the meantime, the robot monitors the human fatigue during the task production. When a predefined level of fatigue is indicated, the robot uses the learnt skill to take over physically demanding aspects of the task and lets the human recover some of the strength. The human remains present to perform aspects of collaborative task that the robot cannot fully take over and maintains the overall supervision. The robot adaptation system is based on the Dynamical Movement Primitives, Locally Weighted Regression and Adaptive Frequency Oscillators. The estimation of the human motor fatigue is carried out using a proposed online model, which is based on the human muscle activity measured by the electromyography. We demonstrate the proposed approach with experiments on real-world co-manipulation tasks: material sawing and surface polishing.

标题：Sensorless and adaptive admittance control of industrial robot in physical human-robot interaction
参考译名：人机交互中工业机器人的无传感器自适应导纳控制
简介：As industrial robots are applied in manufacturing industry on a large-scale and human intelligence is regarded as an important part in manufacturing, physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) which integrates the strength and accuracy of robot with human operator's ability of task cognition has drawn the attention of both academia and industry. However, an industrial robot without extra force/torque sensor for interacting force monitoring cannot be used directly in pHRI, and research on pHRI of industrial robots remains a challenge. In this research, a comprehensive dynamic model of an industrial robot in both dynamic mode and quasi-static mode is obtained to calculate the external force produced by human operator in pHRI and enables sensorless pHRI for industrial robots even in the environment with ambient vibration. Particularly, the dynamics in the process of mode switching which has not been investigated by researchers is studied and compensated by an empirical but effective method. Admittance control is used to transfer the detected force into reference position and velocity of the robot. RBF (Radial Basis Function) network is used to update the damping parameter online in order to reduce the contact force change and the contact force which makes pHRI more natural and easier. The stability of the controller is also discussed. The proposed methods of external force detection and adaptive admittance control show satisfactory behaviour in the experiments.

标题：3D Printing The Next Generation Of Batteries
参考译名：3D打印与下一代电池制造
简介：Additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3D printing, can be used to manufacture porous electrodes for lithium-ion batteries—but because of the nature of the manufacturing process, the design of these 3D printed electrodes is limited to just a few possible architectures. Until now, the internal geometry that produced the best porous electrodes through additive manufacturing was what's known as an interdigitated geometry—metal prongs interlocked like the fingers of two clasped hands, with the lithium shuttling between the two sides.

标题：Okuma Introduces Hybrid 3D Printer CNC Machine
参考译名：Okuma推出混合式3D打印机数控机床
简介：CNC machine manufacturer Okuma has just unveiled their new foray into additive manufacturing. The hybrid 3D printer CNC machine mixes the processes of both devices for a high accuracy object. The Laser EX multi-tasking MU-8000V uses Laser Metal Deposition as an additive method of object building and can use multiple materials. Diabase also used the concept of a hybrid 3D printer CNC machine for their H-series devices. Much like the H-series, the MU-8000V uses successive printing and machining steps to create and trim objects in alternating stages. However, Diabase were working with something similar to FFF while the MU-8000V uses laser methods. Through using LMD instead of other methods, it allows the printer to process existing items for repair or cladding. The hybrid machine allows for part inspection and repairs during production. The boosted efficiency and resolution are thanks to an infinitely variable control of laser spot diameters (0.4 to 8.5 mm). By using LMD instead of other methods, the MU-8000V Laser EX offers mid-process part inspection and material exchange, along with coolant implementation in the work envelope and an faster process.

标题：Researchers Create Ice-based Nano Scale Metal Print Method
参考译名：研究人员创造了基于冰的纳米金属打印方法
简介：There are quite a few fringe forms of additive manufacturing that often take the science world by surprise. Chinese researchers recently found one by making metal-based nano scale structures using plain, old frozen water as a photoresist material. The scientists have shown of a range of shapes they can make with the metals including tiny bridges and pyramids. While the ice is traditional water, the scientists created it at very low temperatures (minus 130 °C). At temperatures that low, a very thin layer of condensed water vapour turns into thin smoothe solids. Traditionally the electron beam lithography uses a electron-sensitive “resist” material to draw on the surfaces of the resist by immersing it in a developer. Using an electron beam, scientists can change the solubility of the resist material drawing custom patterns with it. This allows the process to write on structures on a sub-10 nano meter resolution on metals. Here, however, the researchers found a way to replace the resist with ice. Scientists call that particular state, amorphous ice. “We later discovered that this happens to be the climatic environment of the comet, and the ice on the comet is also in this amorphous state,” Professor Qiu Wei said.

标题：10 Ways GDPR Will Affect Engineers
参考译名：欧盟《数据保护通则》（GDPR）对工程师的十大影响
简介：Change can be difficult, but sometimes necessary, especially if the impact has wide-ranging potential. Engineering companies are finding that out now as they scramble to comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Rule), a European Union regulation passed in May that gives users more control over their personal data, and how organizations use it.Under GDPR regulation, EU citizens have a right to know how their personal data is being used, and the "right to be forgotten" by asking companies to remove their personal data. Companies also need to seek user consent before collecting personal data to ensure their data won’t be abused.
