Abstract: The author proposes an approach to represent assembly by Petri nets and presents an algorithm of automatic robot assembly planning based on the Petri-net model. Due to the Petri-net representation of assembly, the plan generation is quite straightforward and the planning algorithm can be easily and efficiently implemented with simple matrix manipulation.
Keywords: assembly; robot planning.
