Constraint Definition for Gripper Selection and Grasp Planning for Robotic Assembly Using Product Manufacturing Information from STEP AP242Ed2 Files

Abstract

This article uses the Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) from STEP AP242 neutral files for gripper selection and grasp planning in a robotic assembly operation. The PMI, along with the part geometry and dimensions, are used in identifying various handling features of the parts and selecting an appropriate gripper. The required PMI, like material, volume, surface finish, threading and coating information, are added to the STEP AP242 files. The PMI is semantically included in the STEP files following the Model Based Definition (MBD) methodology. Two methods are described to add the PMI to the STEP files, one using a custom string and another using the standard entities defined in ISO 10303 AP242: 2020 standard. The entire process is demonstrated in a use case.
