It was left largely to research in the field of cognitive science and robotics to study what effects the interconnection of perception, decision making and manipulation might have in the evolution of a different breed of machine which, by observing its own action, could judge how best to complete its task. Evidently, senseless machinery required an almost perfect world in which to operate properly. The question was whether it would be economic to make all aspects of batch production in industry sufficiently perfect. Robot researchers felt certain that the sensor driven machines they were evolving would be required for hostile environments, such as for winning primary energy resources. They hoped, but could not be certain, that their cost would be increasingly justified in normal industrial manufacture. It is now clear that the use of sensors to control machines continuously, or alternatively to verify their operation, can be highly cost effective, at least in particular areas of batch manufacture, and will be the basis of an important future industry. Examples of such areas are: sensing systems to monitor tool condition in metal removal machines; force and torque sensing for robot assembly systems, automatic inspection machines using visual techniques for 100% checking of panels and castings between other operations; and tracking sensors for arc welding and seam sealing by rob
