Abstract :
Assembly planning systems generate plans for the automated assembly of mechanical products by robots. The sequences to be generated underlie several physical and geometrical constraints and in addition have to be efficient to increase productivity. This paper addresses the problem of discovery and computation of new measures for assembly cost evaluation. The evaluation criteria are based on the results of the constraint checking process of a high level assembly planning system
