What's next in robotics design?

摘要

Two decades ago, the introduction of 3D CAD technology ushered in the Golden Age of Robotics. Development of robotics technology, systems, and applications has mirrored similar advances in 3D design, visualization, and simu-rnlation tools. The two technologies have advanced in parallel because computer-based development allowsrninventors, designers, and engineers to move beyond a trial-and-error, build-and-test approach into the more efficient, affordable, and revealing world of virtual design.
