part streaming assembly

This is about sreaming parts along a mobile shape changing path to a manipuators end effector where the streamed parts are finally assembled.

  • The path can be made out of stiff and rigid sections (micro-, meso-, and macroscale)
  • The path can be soft curved shaped (meso-, and macroscale) – Related: Emulated elasticity

Delineation

If there is also assembly happening along the way of the transport then we have:
Part streaming assembly with integrated assembly line

Notes

  • (wiki-TODO: add image of part streaming from productive nanosystems video)
  • (wiki-TODO: add image of of sketch of part streaming macroscale tentacle style manipulator)
