The Assembly Warning Arrives Before the Mistake
TanCRAFT tracks a partial build, forecasts a piece's motion and intervenes when the likely placement conflicts with the target.
Summary
TanCRAFT tracks a partial build, forecasts a piece's motion and intervenes when the likely placement conflicts with the target.
TanCRAFT is a four-stage assistance system for assembly settings where users may choose their own construction order. It tracks scene state, reasons over the partial assembly, forecasts the near-future motion of a manipulated piece and warns when the predicted placement is incompatible with the target. In offline tests and a within-subject tangram study, the authors report fewer mistakes than in unguided or reactive sessions, along with the lowest mean workload and completion time. The evidence comes from a controlled tangram task, not an industrial deployment.
