The study deals with the combination technology between
modular machine elements, which forms futural complex manufacturing systems.
Then, it is important for modular machine elements to automatically combine
themselves each other to form complex manufacturing systems according to
the necessity. Thus, the method of recognizing the position and attitude
of modular machine elements and combining them is proposed. The validity
of the method is experimentally confirmed. Key Words: Modular machine elements,
Complex manufacturing cell, Automatic combination, Overall recognition,
Local recognition .
