Autonomous Active-sensor Networks for High-accuracy Monitoring in Manufacturing

In manufacturing, information acquired through integrated sensors can be used to increase flexibility, reliability, and accuracy of autonomous robotic systems. Furthermore, use of such sensors, as a means by which to implement flexible automation, can potentially diminish costs by reducing the need for customized and complex tooling often needed in non-programmable automation.
