Abstract: An agent-based distributed multi-layer virtual assembly model is proposed. Firstly, we construct an assembly information model in the sight of each component, define the assembly knowledge layer based on a series of parameters used to describe feature object. The assembly decision layer treats the parts as individual agents, and defines a series of message templates for transforming parameters between agents. To help agents make proper decision, decision rules are summarized based on process of virtual assembly. Finally, the control layer is defined with a dynamic DOF updating algorithm, to lead users’ operation in a proper order. Experiment result shows that the proposed model can understand user behavior nicely.
