Virtual reality for assembly methods prototyping: a review
Assembly planning and evaluation is an important component of the product design process in which details about how parts of a new product will be put together are formalized. A well designed assembly process should take into account various factors ...
A self-configurable large-scale virtual manufacturing environment for collaborative designers
As manufacturing environments are getting distributed and increasing in size, the related virtual environments are getting larger and more closely networked together. This trend has led to a new paradigm--large-scale virtual manufacturing environment (...
Physics-based virtual reality for task learning and intelligent disassembly planning
Physics-based simulation is increasingly important in virtual manufacturing for product assembly and disassembly operations. This work explores potential benefits of physics-based modeling for automatic learning of assembly tasks and for intelligent ...
Fatigue evaluation in maintenance and assembly operations by digital human simulation in virtual environment
Virtual human techniques have been used a lot in industrial design in order to consider human factors and ergonomics as early as possible, and it has been integrated into VR applications to complete ergonomic evaluation tasks. In order to generalize the ...
Low-cost simulated MIG welding for advancement in technical training
The simulated MIG lab (sMIG) is a training simulator for Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding. It is based on commercial off the shelf (COTS) components and targeted at familiarizing beginning students with the MIG equipment and best practices to follow to ...
Modeling and real-time simulation architectures for virtual prototyping of off-road vehicles
Virtual Reality-based simulation technology has evolved as a useful design and analysis tool at an early stage in the design for evaluating performance of human-operated agricultural and construction machinery. Detecting anomalies in the design prior to ...
