In fact although many of these manufacturing systems are semi-autonomous requiring only minor parameterization to work many other systems working in SMEs require heavy parameterization and reconfiguration to adapt to the type of production that changes drastically with time and product models. Another difficulty is the average skill of the available operators who usually have difficulty adapting to robotic and or computer-controlled flexible manufacturing systems. SMEs are special types of companies. In dimension with up to 250 permanent collaborators in economic strength with net sales up to 50M and in installed technical expertise not many engineers . Nevertheless the European economy depends on these types of company units since roughly they represent 95 of the European companies more than 75 of the employment and more than 60 of the overall net sales 1 This reality configures a scenario in which flexible automation and robotics in particular play a special and unique role requiring manufacturing cells to be easily used by regular non-skilled operators and easier to program control and monitor. One way to this end is the exploitation of the consumer market s input-output devices to operate with industrial robotic equipment. With this approach developers can benefit from the availability and functionality of these devices and from the powerful programming packages available for the most common desktop and embedded platforms. On the other hand users could benefit from the operational gains obtained by having the normal tasks performed using common devices and also from the reduction in prices due to the use of consumer products. 174 Industrial Robots Programming Industrial manufacturing systems would benefit greatly from .
