Top-Down Virtual Environment Construction for Manufacturing Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual environments (VEs) are becoming important tools for simulating manufacturing systems. Various virtual environment constructing techniques and toolkits have been devised in recent years. This paper provides an “inside” view of those methods. Based on the insight, a futuristic VE construction approach that aims to integrate manufacturing application knowledge with environment data is proposed and its implementation discussed.

متن کاملSelected Applications of Virtual Reality in Manufacturing
Virtual reality (VR) has become an important and useful tool in science and engineering. VR applications cover a wide range of industrial areas from product design to analysis, from product prototyping to manufacturing. The design and manufacturing of a product can be viewed, evaluated and improved in a virtual environment before its prototype is made, which is an enormous cost saving. Virtual ...
متن کاملEvolving Physical Self-assembling Systems in Two-Dimensions
Primarily top-down design methodologies have been used to create physical self-assembling systems. As the sophistication of these systems increases, it will be more challenging to deploy top-down design, due to self-assembly being an algorithmically NP-complete problem. Alternatively, we present a nature-inspired approach incorporating evolutionary computing, to couple bottom-up construction (s...

Turbulent influencing factors based on market requirements and technological demands lead to a permanent change and improvement in the factory processes, manufacturing systems and layouts. New investigations in manufacturing show that the application of new machining processes and tools require a systematic and stepwise change of the layout and the organisation in order to activate the economic...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Dynamic Perceptual Attention for Virtual Humans
An important characteristic of a virtual human is the ability to direct its perceptual attention to objects and locations in a virtual environment in a manner that looks believable and serves a functional purpose. We have developed a computational model of perceptual attention that mediates top-down and bottom-up attention processes of virtual humans in virtual environments. In this paper, we p...
