Adaptive assembly and manufacturing system (AAMS) reach intelligence and adaptation capability through the close interplay between four areas: electronics, mechanics, control and software engineering. The paper deals with the AAMS in order to accomplish enhanced adaptability to unstable environments through increased sensing capability and comprehensive control logics, able to self-optimize manufacturing performance and to realize intelligent and adaptive behaviour in assembly processes. In addition, the paper discusses with development trends of adaptive assembly processes.
