Abstract
Having a flexible robotic system layout that allows for the assembly of any structure creates a challenge in finding an optimal sequence of assembly. In some examples, the optimal sequence of assembly may provide the highest robot utilization, the shortest cycle time, the greatest assembly accuracy of the final assembly, or any combination thereof. The processing system disclosed herein may be configured to generate assembly sequences for a plurality of parts and determine an optimal assembly sequence from the generated assembly sequences by comparing the generated assembly sequences.

1-21. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- memory configured to store one or more assembly parameters;
- and
- an assembly system coupled to the memory and configured to:
- generate a plurality of assembly sequences for a plurality of parts based on the one or more assembly parameters,
- determine a plurality of input assignments for each of the plurality of parts to the assembly system, wherein each input assignment corresponds to one or more assembly sequences of the plurality of assembly sequences, and
- select an assembly sequence from the plurality of assembly sequences for assembly.
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more assembly parameters;
- generating a plurality of assembly sequences for a plurality of parts based on the one or more assembly parameters;
- determining a plurality of input assignments for each of the plurality of parts, wherein each input assignment corresponds to one or more assembly sequences of the plurality of assembly sequences, and
- selecting an assembly sequence from the plurality of assembly sequences for assembly.
