To show how advances in machine vision technology are of particular benefit to automated assembly.

The review concentrates on algorithms, cost effectiveness, and communications aspects of currently available commercial systems.

Vision is now very robust, affordable, and capable of being used at every stage in the assembly process.

The vision industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace and readers who may have been disappointed when they investigated the technology only a few years ago should learn how today's systems have improved.

Comments on recent developments in the machine vision industry and describes some of the more significant exhibits at the IPOT 2001 exhibition, including camera networks, addressable pixel cameras and low resolution thermal imagers.

Reviews the two symposis making up the part of the 2001 Photonics Boston event – “Intelligent Systems and Advanced Manufacturing” and “Environmental and Industrial sensing”. The emphasis was on robots and on vision associated with mobile and/or autonomous robotic activity. Papers discussed include the FIDO Mars exploration robot. The symposium “Machine Vision and Three‐Dimensional Imaging Systems” is also discussed and included systems for inspecting asparagus, monochromatic Fresnel lens applications and fibre optic assembly.
