Abstract
This work is focused on a conceptual framework that is able to provide cognitive capabilities to an assembly environment. The framework provides assembly decision-making processes that consider assembly resources and design of a product. The proposed cognitive assembly system comprises of knowledge databases, assembly sequence generation, assembly resource planning and autonomous (self-learning) control capabilities.
Keywords: Cognition, intelligent assembly, flexible assembly, human-robot cooperation, human-robot interaction, assembly systems, assembly sequence planning, self-learning, computer aided assembly planning, robot learning, robot planning.
