Abstract

To overcome the difficulties of programming robots, the authors are seeking automatic programming methods, using various forms of computer-based reasoning. This overview outlines their algorithm and software-related research and development for automated mechanical assembly. Five major areas of ongoing research are briefly described: compliant motion; motion planning; machine interpretation of solid models; automatic planning of assembly sequences; and automatic programming of robotic systems.<>
