Robotic construction assembly planning aims to find feasible assembly sequences as well
as the corresponding robot-paths and can be seen as a special case of task and motion …

In which order can a product be assembled or disassembled? How many hands are
required? How many degrees of freedom? What parts should be withdrawn to allow the …

Effectiveness of computer vision techniques has been demonstrated through a number of
applications, both within and outside healthcare. The operating room environment …

Assembly sequence planning of complex products is difficult to be tackled, because the size
of the search space of assembly sequences is exponentially proportional to the number of …

A survey of the field of solid modeling and an assessment of its strengths and limitations are
presented. The survey covers mathematical foundations, representations, algorithms …

This paper describes a genetic algorithm that deals with the assembly planning problem.
While most assembly planning systems use a cut-set method to generate assembly plans …

In the assembly modeling of complex products, it is not unusual facing an explosive growth
of assembly relations, or called combination explosion. Through integrating object-oriented …

In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm that generates and assesses assembly plans.
An appropriately modified version of the well-known partially matched crossover, and …

Typically, during product design collaborating, designers share design data and assembly
models. However, due to the limited bandwidth of the Internet transfer of detailed CAD …

In the main part of this dissertation we present a new path planning method which computes
collision-free paths for robots of virtually any type moving among stationary obstacles. This …
