This proposal will research into the requirements which an                 advanced design support system has of a geometric modeler and                   how form features which are relevant to assembly but may not be                 explicitly present in the functionally based design description                 can be recognized.  The PIs propose to research methods for                     identifying standard assembly situations by using the                           capability of interrogating the modeler and developing a                        formalism for expressing the form of the part and the function                  it serves.                                                                           The extraction of feature information and identification                   of shape is essential for automatic robot programming and                       automatic assembly.
