Abstract

In this paper, an agent-based design and development of an interactive virtual environment for a manufacturing assembly process is described. Agents in the assembly are identified through their respective responsibilities and are implemented so that they coordinate between one another to accomplish the PC assembly/disassembly process. The robot agent, crucial to the assembly operation, is designed to handle multiple failure situations, wherein it coordinates with the part agent to accommodate the failure.
