Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a 3-D CAD oriented assembly robot system which calculates the minimal number of robots needed for amount of production, assigns assembly tasks to plural robots equally, and derives optimal assembly sequence about each robot. The main principle in our research is optimization of necessary resources (robots, end effectors and so on) by production targets (design for product, amount of production, etc.). From this view point, we try to plan tasks of assembly robot system on object level, and evaluate the simulation results.
