Abstract :
Virtual assembly computer tools assist human operators in their work of mechanical assembly inside virtual environments. This paper investigates the real-time rendering of computer-synthesized guidance. It uses a biologically inspired neural network to generate collision-free paths, and helps users to specify assembly tasks by guiding the motion of objects. This work leverages the power of “manufacturing in the computer” with the creation of artificial guidance that could be unavailable in the physical world
