Embodiments herein generally relate to methods, systems and devices for automated assembly of building structures. In at least one embodiment, there is provided a method for automated assembly of building structures, the method comprises analyzing assembly data associated with a building structure; based on the analyzing, determining an assembly sequence for assembling building parts to construct the building structure, wherein the assembly sequence comprises a plurality of assembly tasks; generating robot-specific control instructions, for each of one or more assembly robots in a robotic assembly cell, to execute the assembly sequence; and transmitting the robot-specific control instructions to the one or more assembly robots in the robotic assembly cell.

An apparatus is configured including an information obtaining unit that extracts information on plural parts' attributes, locations, and adjoining relations with other parts; a unit that sorts parts by part type and detects a distinctive shape from 3D CAD model; a unit that represents adjoining relations between parts in an assembly graph; a unit that creates disassembling directions and a disassembling sequence based on the assembly graph and, by reversing them, derives an assembling sequence and assembling directions; a unit that computes an index indicating a quality of easiness of assembling a part by subtracting the sum of deficiency points per part from a reference score; a unit that creates virtual worker positions, postures, and viewpoints according to assembling sequence and evaluates workability; and a unit that computes an evaluation value per part by the index of easiness of assembling the part and a total evaluation value of assembly workability.

A cyber-physical production system includes a plurality of cyber-physical units configured to collectively produce a product comprising one or more workpieces. Each cyber-physical units comprises one or more automation system devices, a network interface and a processor. The network interface is configured to receive one or more skill instances. Each skill instance provides a machine-independent request for transformation of a workpiece by the one or more automation system devices. The processor is configured to execute each of the one or more skill instances by applying behaviors that control the automation system devices.

Embodiments herein generally relate to methods, systems and devices for automated assembly of building structures. In at least one embodiment, there is provided a robotic assembly cell for assembling building structures. The robotic assembly cell comprises a perception sensor system; one or more assembly robots; and at least one processor operable to: receive instructions corresponding to an assembly sequence for assembling a building structure; determine a plurality of building parts required for assembling the building structure based on the assembly sequence; identify each building part within a facility, based on sensor data from the perception sensor system; configure the assembly robot to retrieve the target pieces; and configure the assembly robot to assemble the target pieces according to the assembly sequence.

A method for designing a designing a product manufacturing process has been developed. First, a final manufacturing assembly is loaded into a manufacturing process design engine. Next, clearance and interference checks are performed for all objects used during the manufacturing process with an interference and clearance calculation engine. The checks are based on data retrieved from an interference and clearance database (ICD). If an interference or inadequate clearance is detected by the design engine, the manufacturing operation is redesigned. If no interference or inadequate clearance is detected, the manufacturing operation is optimized with a manufacturing process optimization engine. The product manufacturing process is finalized once the optimization is complete.
