Theproposed design augments the model-based robot controller with an adaptive identifier of robotdynamics to reduce parameter errors. The identifier estimates the dynamic parameters of themanipulator from measurements of the inputs and outputs (joint positions, velocities, andaccelerations) and calibrates adoptively the model in the controller.II.

A separate design course, dedicated to plastic product design, is alsooutlined. This last alternative is likely the best bridge from a machine design curriculum withoutplastics concepts to one with metallic/nonmetallic product design.1 IntroductionPlastic products† are a dominant part of the manufacturing world. It is very likely that you thereader could, at this moment, reach out and touch a plastic product from where you sit.

Such systems and devices arereferred to as photonics systems and devices.

The authors adopted a four step approach designed to involvebusiness and industry in the process of program development. The first step was to define therole that industry should play in the development and growth of the programs. The second stepwas to identify and contact companies which would be interested in committing their time andtalent to program development. The third step was to actively involve business and industrypersonnel while developing opportunities within industry to augment student education. Thefinal step was to cement the relationship with the industrial partner and to develop long-termcommitments to program
