Abstract :
Industrial robots have been recently introduced into the assembly line of consumer products. To assemble a product, goal coordinates must be specified for the robot. Because this task is quite difficult and time-consuming, we propose computing the values of goal coordinates from an object model of target design. In this paper, we define a model capable of managing information necessary for assembling parts by a robot. The effectiveness of the model is verified by using an experimental system.
