Extract

This paper describes a compact assembly sequencer for automatic robotic assembly using a configuration space-based path planner. Connection graph of the assembly is constrained by the feasibility information made available from the analysis of local disassembly paths tried by the robot's path planner. Free space of the robot performing assembly is explicitly used to generate the disassembly constraints. We show with the help of a ball pen assembly how the sequencing is performed with this representation.
