Abstract

We address a perception framework for intelligent inspection and reverse engineering in this work. In particular, we investigate the use of discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) to guide the sensing of mechanical parts. We introduce dynamic recursive finite state machines (DRFSM) as a new DEDS tool for utilizing the recursive nature of the mechanical parts under consideration. The proposed framework uses DRFSM DEDS for constructing an observer for exploration and inspection purposes. We construct a sensing CAD interface for the automatic reconstruction of parts from visual data. We also implement a graphical interface for designing DRFSM DEDS controllers.
