Abstract
This paper provides an introduction to the most commonly
used Knowledge Based Systems (KBS's) called Rule Based
Systems, presents some benefits of using these systems if
the application warrants their attention and provides an
over-view of current R&D as well as industrial systems
already implemented. Areas of manUfacturing that could
use KBS's within the South African context are suggested.
A research programme investigating the use of KBS's in
robotics in progress at the University of Stellenbosch
demonstrating a number of useful properties associated
with programming Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques
using logic programming, is discussed.
