He spent a year as a visiting scientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. He returned to the Manufacturing Systems Laboratory where he currently heads a research project on program generation for flexible assembly systems.)
T.L.M. Luiten (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands T. L. M. Luiten studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology in Eindhoven and later at Delft University. In 1987 he joined the research group of Prof. L. N. Reijers in the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems. He worked on the DATE project during that period, then moved on to the laboratory for Robotics and Flexible Automation in Delft for a short period.)

Abstract

IN THE Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems at Delft University of Technology, a research project is underway into automatic, off‐line generation of programs for Flexible Assembly Systems (FASs). From the early stages of the project on, it was clear that some method for comparing programming systems was needed.
