Maciejewski, A Virtual Object Manipulation Interface for Automated Assembly Programming, 1994 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Humans, Information and Technology, San Antonio, Texas, October 2-5, 1994: 1826-1831.http://hdl.handle.net/10217/1214This work describes the implementation of a novel robotic workcell programming interface that allows an assembly designer to obtain immediate feedback regarding the manufacturability of his design. The interface allows the user to manipulate the three-dimensional CAD/CAM models of the components and "assemble" them into the final product. The computer then analyzes the relevant assembly operations and translates them into low-level commands for the robots in the specific workcell under consideration. This work is motivated by the complexity and time-consuming nature of manually programming flexible assembly cells for the manufacture of different products, particularly when they involve the cooperation of multiple robot manipulators.born digitalproceedings (reports)eng©1994 IEEE.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
