Abstract
In order to increase the efficiency and applicability of robotic
assembly systems it is important to monitor assembly progress,
identify errors and enable the robot to recover from an error
situation. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence techniques
in this area is aimed at improving the aid given to the robot by
the control computer.
A knowledge-base has been created which encapsulates expertise
on error recovery. The knowledge can be used to specify, for
particular sensor data associated with assembly operations, those
actions which would facilitate recovery without operator
assistance.
This system is applied to robotic assembly problems provided by
the industrial partner Electrolux plc in Darlington and its
performance is discussed in this paper.
