Abstract :
Presents an approach to intelligent interface design in virtual assembly. It uses a domain model to represent the activities of mechanical assembly, and a user model to capture the goals of user actions. The design also includes an interaction model to make inferences from the two models for the rendering of artificial guidance and evaluation of assembly plans. A neural network inspired from biological neural systems plays an important role in handling the real-time requirement of virtual assembly. Simulation studies demonstrate the advantages intelligent interface technology brings to human/computer interaction in practical applications.
