Abstract
This paper focuses on the assembly planning process for constructing polygonal furniture (such as cabinets, speakers, bookshelves, etc.) using robotic arms and manipulators. An algorithm is described that utilizes easily-implemented and generally-accepted motion planning algorithms to take advantage of the polygonal nature of the furniture, which reduces the complexity of the assembly planner. In particular, the algorithm disassembles a given CAD model in simulation to find a valid assembly order and disassembly path, then implements that assembly order with two robotic arms, using the disassembly path as the finishing path of the part into the assembly. Additionally, it finds a collision-free plan developed for each of the arms in the correct assembly order with the final result being the assembly of the model.
期刊介绍:
This international journal publishes both theoretical and application-oriented papers on various aspects of mechatronic systems, modelling, design, conventional and intelligent control, and intelligent systems. Application areas of mechatronics may include robotics, transportation, energy systems, manufacturing, sensors, actuators, and automation. Techniques of artificial intelligence may include soft computing (fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms/evolutionary computing, probabilistic methods, etc.). Techniques may cover frequency and time domains, linear and nonlinear systems, and deterministic and stochastic processes. Hybrid techniques of mechatronics that combine conventional and intelligent methods are also included. First published in 1972, this journal originated with an emphasis on conventional control systems and computer-based applications. Subsequently, with rapid advances in the field and in view of the widespread interest and application of soft computing in control systems, this latter aspect was integrated into the journal. Now the area of mechatronics is included as the main focus. A unique feature of the journal is its pioneering role in bridging the gap between conventional systems and intelligent systems, with an equal emphasis on theory and practical applications, including system modelling, design and instrumentation. It appears four times per year.
