Assembly planning involves in determining a particular assembly priority from which associated restraint factors such as geometric features, assembly time, tools, and machines are taken into account of arranging a feasible assembly sequence based upon the planner’s individual heuristics. Suchlike planning lately may implement genetic algorithms (GAs) to go towards the assembly sequence features...

In general, mechatronics systems have no standard operating system that could be used for planning and control when these complex devices are running. The goal of this paper is to formulate a work platform that can be used as a method for obtaining precision in the manipulation of micro-entities using micro-scale manipulation tools for microsystem applications. This paper provide groundwork for...

Petri nets have been proposed as a suitable tool for expressing precedence constraints and computing assembly sequences. Motivations for using Petri nets stem from their clear and well-deened semantics as well as from the formal analysis tools and techniques available. In this paper the operation and properties of Petri net models representing assembly plans are reconnected to the fundamental p...
