Abstract

An assembly sequence planner is a system which, given a description of an assembly to be manufactured, identifies subassemblies and generates high-level plans for the construction of each subassembly, including the final assembly. This paper describes a new version of a planner which views the product as a hierarchy of structure elements, and plans by recursively merging plans for substructures. The structure hierarchy enables the planner to capture structure-specific expert advice and reuse subplans for repeated substructures. Analytical and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
