“…This paper also presents a method to qualitatively simulate the depth profile for a cylindrical peg-in-hole assembly. The existing intelligent search techniques as in Chhatpar and Branicky (2001), Newman et al (2001), Chhatpar and Branicky (2003), Chhatpar and Branicky (2005), Kim et al (2012) and Udai et al (2015) require knowledge of one or the other parameter of the assembly setup, whereas the techniques presented in this paper and Sharma et al (2013) perform the search without the knowledge about assembly parameters like peg orientation, location of peg center, clearance value, etc. Such techniques make the hole search more practical and general-purpose.…”
