“…They combined a haptic device to the system and keep the user's movements same as those that occur when testing a physical mock-up [2]. Similar work has also been suggested by Saval et al [3]. Another research focused on the development a language, such as Virtual Fixture Assembly Language (VFAL) [4].…”

Abstract. This paper presents the development of an intelligent Assembly/Disassembly (A/D) system with the utilization of a haptic device. The development was aimed to assist the A/D process of aircraft parts maintenance with an intelligent algorithm. A comprehensive methodology is presented by an intelligent algorithm generating the best sequence for the assembled/disassembled parts. For this purpose, a genetic algorithm was chosen because of its effectiveness and compatibility dealing with the A/D sequencing problem. Furthermore, A/D process of the parts will also be calculated in the genetic algorithm process, which will show the effectiveness of the algorithm. Moreover, the concept of both natural and artificial constraints are applied to generate the path planning of the assembled/disassembled parts. It is believed that the combination of haptic, optimized sequence algorithm and intelligent path planning will increase efficiency for the overall aircraft parts maintenance process.

“…Since the control loop runs faster than the collision module, several strategies must be implemented in order to avoid abrupt changes in contact force and torque when collision information is not available (Savall et al (2002)). There are two main problems that should be taken into account.…”

“…The development of haptic technology is allowing the introduction of Virtual Reality systems as teaching and working tools into many fields such as engineering (Howard & Vance, 2007;Savall et al, 2002) or surgery (Basdogan et al, 2004;Li & Liu, 2006). Haptic devices allow users to interact with a certain environment, either remote or virtual, through the sense of touch, considerably enhancing interactivity.…”

“…In the past decade, many VA applications have been developed to help engineers identify product/process design errors early in the product development process in order to save time, effort and money. Reducing the number of physical prototypes needed to perform assembly evaluations results in substantial cost saving in the overall design process [3].…”

Virtual Reality (VR) technology holds promise as a virtual prototyping tool for mechanical assembly; however, several developmental challenges still need to be addressed before virtual prototyping applications can successfully be integrated into the product realization process. This paper describes the development of SHARP (System for Haptic Assembly & Realistic Prototyping), a portable VR interface for virtual assembly. SHARP uses physically-based modeling for simulating realistic part-to-part and hand-to-part interactions in virtual environments. A dual handed haptic interface for realistic part interaction using the PHANToM® haptic devices is presented. The capability of creating subassemblies enhances the application's ability to handle a wide variety of assembly scenarios. Swept volumes are implemented for addressing maintainability issues and a network module is added for communicating with different VR systems at dispersed geographic locations. Support for various types of VR systems allows an easy integration of SHARP into the product realization process resulting in faster product development, faster identification of assembly and design issues and a more efficient and less costly product design process.
