### Software interface for generating and optimizing vertical-cell robotic assembly sequences  
**Date:** Aug 2024 (Granted)  
A software package that mimics assembly floor hand-off patterns & real-time sequential decision making to accurately generate, visualize and replay assembly scenarios. In addition to the simulations, the software also utilizes a modified genetic algorithm to optimize for things like completion time and robot utilization. The package employs a unidirectional, flux-based data propagation pattern that ensures predictable state mutation to avoid race conditions and allows for time-travel/replay functionality.
