Computer aided Optimal Robotic Assembly Sequence Generation

Robots are widely used for assembly operations across manufacturing industries to attain high productivity through automation. An appropriate robotic assembly sequence further minimizes the total production lead time and overall cost by minimizing the number of assembly direction changes, assembly gripper changes and assembly energy thus selection of a valid optimal robotic assembly sequence is significantly essential to achieve economized manufacturing process. An optimal assembly sequence must comply with various assembly requirements in order to make sure that the sequence of assembly operations is functionally feasible in physical environment.
