Duderstadt Distinguished University Professor Yoram Koren’s scientific contributions during his career from his early work on manufacturing automation through his pioneered research in robotics, to his recent research on reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Koren believes in dreams and timing. Some of his dreams have not yet been accomplished, perhaps because their time is yet to come.
