Developments in 2002 are analyzed in detail and forecasts up to 2006 are presented. A whole section is devoted to case studies, showing actual robot installations and what effects they have on costs, production and employment structure as well as overall profitability. This set includes both printed and electronic versions of the Yearbook. It is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the development of industrial robots and the technological vanguard of modern manufacturing.
