Abstract
The goals are to support assembly planning; simulation; and evaluation, primarily for manual assembly. The objectives are: automated/computer assisted planning of alternative assembly sequences; development of a virtual platform for realistic assembly simulation; and development of metrics for automated evaluation of ergonomic assembly difficulty. The major challenges and key results obtained so far are reported.
Keywords: Assembly difficulty, Sequence planning, Virtual reality, Haptics.
