Empirical assembly planning: A learning approach
An assembly structure is a physical as well as a conceptual structure. Physically, an assembly structure is composed of individual components and their relationships. Conceptually, an assembly structure is hierarchically organized into subassemblies.

Assembly sequencing through graph reasoning : graph grammar rules for assembly planning
Assembly planning is difficult and tedious, but is necessary for complex products. This thesis presents a novel approach to automating assembly planning utilizing graph grammars. Computational geometric reasoning is used to produce a label rich graph from a CAD model. This graph is then modified by …

Automated motion planning for robotic assembly of discrete architectural structures
… this gap, this research presents a new robotic assembly planning framework called Choreo, which eliminates human-intervention for parts that are typically arduous and tedious in architectural robotics projects. Specifically, Choreo takes discrete spatial structure as input, and then assembly …

Algorithmic planning for robotic assembly of building structures
… algorithmic foundations for applying automated planning techniques to program robots to assemble discrete spatial structures. Benefitting from the robot’s capacity for moving, positioning, and holding elements precisely, robotic assembly aims to neutralize the cost and time impact of increasing …

Automated assembly sequence generation using a novel search scheme for handling parallel sub-assemblies
The Assembly sequencing problem (ASP) is part of the assembly planning process. The ASP is basically a large scale, combinatorial problem which is highly constrianed. The aim of this thesis is to automatically generate assembly sequence(s) for mechanical products. In this thesis, the CAD model of …

DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY AND SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION FOR LARGE STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION
The efficient construction or assembly of a large structure is a critical factor in the success of a project because of the cost and time required. The construction of a large structure is long and expensive due to the number of processes and resources required, the complexity of the processes and …

Spatial reasoning for computer aided design, manufacturing and process planning
… computer-aided design, manufacturing and process planning. This work addresses these tasks by producing a centralized server for static and dynamic geometric reasoning. Static reasoning involves geometric algorithms with fully and consistently defined entities. The algorithms include (i) …

Freeform, direct-write assembly of thermoplastics and glasses: Theory, practice, and applications
… manufacturing, broadly termed direct-write assembly, in which material is deposited through a translating nozzle onto a curved surface, across spanning gaps, into a fluid reservoir, or in free space. The latter approach, referred to here as freeform assembly, is particularly well-suited to …
