An analysis of assembly

- Summary

Abstract

This paper concerns the problem of assembling composite objects. We study the problem on two fronts; Firstly we consider the complexity of deciding the existence of an assembly sequence and show that this is PSPACE-hard in general. Secondly we define a new measure of complexity, one that attempts to measure the minimum number of hands required to assemble a given composite. We analyze various classes of composite objects with respect to this measure.
