An MIT group of researchers lead by Yunsheng Tian, has created a method to automatically assemble products that’s accurate, efficient and generalizable to a wide range of complex real-world assemblies. Their algorithm efficiently determines the order for multi-part assembly, and then searches for a physically realistic motion path for each step.
This could be a great way to develop step by step assembly instructions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides and HoloLens.
