Abstract
Automated assembly is the most difficult task in the development of a manufacturing automation system. A large percentage of the direct labor content of a typical product is in the assembly operations. In order to develop an automated assembly cell, an integrated scheme from design to assembly is presented. This scheme represents a design-based automated assembly where the designer's intent is integrated into the execution of the assembly. An assembly planner utilizes the designer output to generate an optimal assembly plan based on the resources constraints. A task planner converts the high-level assembly plans into a sequence of robotic manipulations. An intelligent control scheme executes the assembly operations based on the task planner's results and the sensory feedback. Details of the intelligent controller and communication network is presented in this paper, and some of the implementation results are discussed.
