IMAGE-BASED FEEDBACK FOR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for aiding assembly of a product, the product comprising a plurality of parts, the method comprising:
- obtaining a set of images of the product as the plurality of parts are being assembled, the set of images obtained from at least one camera;
detecting, based on the set of obtained images, an assembly step being performed;
retrieving one or more assembly metrics for assembling the product;
determining, based on the detected assembly step and based on the retrieved assembly metrics, a potential assembly issue; and
providing, based on the determined potential assembly issue, an assistance feedback.

Abstract
A set of images of a product are obtained from a camera. The set of images are of a plurality of parts of the product being assembled. Based on the set of obtained images, an assembly step that is being performed is detected. One or more assembly metrics for assembling the product are retrieved. A potential assembly issue is determined. The determination is based on the detected assembly step and also based on the retrieved assembly metrics. An assistance feedback is provided based on the determined potential assembly issue.
