==Research==
Koren is internationally recognized for contributions to reconfigurable manufacturing systems, flexible automation, and robotics. Koren is holding 14 U.S. patents in these fields. Koren has published 4 books and more than 300 scholarly papers that have over 30,000 citations (according to Google Scholar <ref>{{cite web |url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=l0UFGYgAAAAJ&hl=en/|title= Dr. Yoram Koren’s Google Scholar|website=Google Scholar|accessdate=Aug 3, 2020 }}</ref>).
 
'''Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems''': Koren is best known as “The Father of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems” <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00207543.2019.1635277?journalCode=tprs20|title= Touzout, F., & Benyoucef, L. (2019) Multi-objective multi-unit process plan generation in a reconfigurable manufacturing environment: a comparative study of three hybrid metaheuristics. ''International Journal of Production Research'', ''57''(24), 7520–7535.}}</ref>. He is credited with coining the term [[Reconfigurable manufacturing system|“Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems” (RMS)]] as well as creating the scientific underpinnings of the reconfigurable manufacturing paradigm, and defining the RMS as a system that has "exactly the production resources needed, exactly when needed." Many of Koren’s RMS inventions, hardware and software, were implemented in numerous automotive and aerospace factories. In 1999 Koren presented at the CIRP Annual Meeting the keynote paper “Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems.” <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0007850607632326

This paper was published in the CIRP Annals - Manufacturing Technology, and has established RMS as a new, worldwide research discipline with practical implementations.
 
'''Flexible Automation and CNC''': Koren’s research in the 1970s was focused on developing methods for the precise control of [[Numerical control|CNC (computer numerically controlled)]] machines aimed at enhancing their precision and increasing their productivity. In 1973 Koren invented the world’s-first computerized real-time adaptive controller for a milling machine. This invention is highlighted on the U-M 200-year Research Milestones chart <ref>{{cite web |url= http://research.umich.edu/research-milestones|title= Research Milestones|website=University of Michigan}}</ref>: “Dr. Koren’s computerized adaptive controller invention occurred long before computers were commonly used in industrial applications. Before Dr. Koren’s work in the 1970's, numerical control of machine tools was more of an art than science.” In 1976 Koren published the world’s-first scientific paper on interpolators for CNC machines <ref>{{cite web |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5009202|title= Koren, Y.

@Gobluer:  Not done but  Possibly. The 'Research' section reads too much like an advert. Take out words like 'innovative' and 'remarkable', as well as weasel words like 'is regarded as a pioneer' (by whom?), and let his research (which looks great, by the way) speak for itself. I'd also like to see more internal links. The 'Books' section should just be four bulletpoints (we know they're 'original' because he wrote them, and unless you have a source that they are 'widely used as textbooks', that needs to go too). Also the 'Honors and Awards' section is a bit too long: focus on the major ones, and take out the ones that are unsourced (at least until you find a source). --jftsang 18:07, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


@Jftsang: Thanks for you advice. I have edited the context based on your comments and added a few internal links and an infobox. Please let me know what you think and if furuther edit is needed.Thanks. --User:Gobluer
 Partly done Hi @Gobluer:, I have added the information from the infobox. My biggest problem with the prose is your reliance on primary sources. Many sources are Koren's employees, his own writing, or the organisations that are giving him the awards. I suggest looking for secondary sources like book reviews or news articles about his discoveries/work.
Also, because this is a biography of a living person Wikipedia has very strict standards on what can be in the article. Every piece of information MUST be cited. Therefore, we cannot add the Personal life section or keep the Education section unless there is a citation.
I agree with jftsang above that the awards section is too long. Take out the non-notable awards and only include the most important ones (my personal belief is if it doesn't have a Wiki article, it probably shouldn't be mentioned.)
Please post below if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing an improved version! Z1720 (talk) 18:08, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have not received a response after seven days, and @Gobluer: has not edited Wikipedia since August, so I am going to close this ticket. If you would like to resubmit this edit request, please follow the instructions at Template:Request edit/Instructions. Z1720 (talk) 23:59, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Z1720:, sorry I did not have time to work on this in the past week. Please give me a few more days to work on this. Thanks. User:Gobluer

No problem, @Gobluer:, and there's no rush to complete it. I closed the ticket because I didn't know if you were still editing on Wikipedia and I wanted to clear the backlog. When you are finished, you can ping me and I'll look at it. If I don't respond in a couple of days, or if you want someone new to look at the edits, please add a new request edit template to the top of your edits on this talk page. Happy editing!

Hi @Z1720:, I have been asked by prof. Koren to edit his article. Please review the edit request on the top the the page. --Adig-pt (talk) 08:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Adig-pt I am not fulfilling edit requests at the moment. When I return I will start by reviewing the requests that have been in the queue for the longest amount of time. Thanks for your understanding. Z1720 (talk) 13:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please add these two items to the Honors and awards section:

[edit]

Please change the second paragraph in the Robotics sub-section of the Research section (which starts with the words: “Shan and Koren were the first to develop a model…”) to the following text:

In 1991 Koren received a grant of $220,000 to develop “Sensor-Based Control of a Mechanical Snake [ref a]. Shan and Koren built a 7-link snake, that its first link had a camera, and 6 motors were installed at the 6 joints to provide forward motion. [ref b] Shan and Koren were the first to develop a model of how external objects could affect kinematic constraints on the movement of a snake robot in 1993.[23][24]
