A virtual object manipulation interface for automated assembly programming Sato, Akihiro ; Maciejewski, Anthony A. "This work was supported by the NEC Corporation and in part by the National Science Foundation under grant CDR 8803017 to the Engineering Research Center for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems." This work describes the implementation of a novel robotic workcell programming interface that allows an assembly designer to obtain immediate feedback regarding the manufacturability of his design. The interface allows the user to manipulate the three-dimensional CAD/CAM models of the components and "assemble" them into the final product. The computer then analyzes the relevant assembly operations and translates them into low-level commands for the robots in the specific workcell under consideration. This work is motivated by the complexity and time-consuming nature of manually programming flexible assembly cells for the manufacture of different products, particularly when they involve the cooperation of multiple robot manipulators.
