Agile assembly architecture : an agent based approach to modular precision assembly systems
2018
Preserved Fulltext
Abstract: "This paper serves to present our initial thoughts on the design of an architecture for highly flexible, modular, and distributed precision assembly systems. ...
Our demonstration of this architecture takes the form of a 'table top' sized miniature assembly system targeted at the partial assembly of high-density magnetic storage devices." ...
It is the formalization of these basic ideas that constitutes our notion of an Agile Assembly Architecture (AAA). ...

The approach naturally generalizes to repairing, refueling, and re-provisioning space structure components while providing optimal collision-free trajectories under e.g., inertial uncertainty. ...
Thus, inertial estimation of the robot and the manipulated component system must be considered during structural assembly. ...
