Abstract
Computer Assisted Workcells need to interact with both CAD information and occasional human intervention. These automated workcell controllers will reduce the amount of reprogramming required in the factory of the future. An interdisciplinary group of students have been given the task of producing such a Computer Assisted Robotics Assembly (CARA) System. An early prototype served the “Blocks World” environment. Current work is being performed with Lincoln Log houses and simple, surface-mounted electronics.
