Abstract

When a program for the construction of a product by a flexible assembly cell is automatically derived from a CAD drawing, this may give rise to problems. To help the programming process additional input by an expert will be very practical. In this paper a description is given of how to handle the input of additional information with a user interface. This user interface consists of two parts: an instruction interpreter and a dialogue system. With the instruction interpreter the expert can give advice on (details of the) the cell program; with the dialogue system the programming system itself can ask the expert for solutions of problems it encounters. When the expert uses the instruction interpreter or communicates with the dialogue system, he may use a subset of English, which facilitates the communication.
