operation depends on parts to be assembled. The Primary target of this manufacturing cell isto glue three parts together to produce a small medical device with limited human intervention.There are three different trajectory actions required to completely assemble the part. Thisresearch paper talks about how to program a low-cost Scara robot for the manufacturing cellwhich performs multiple sequential operations to produce the device.First operation is to glue part “A” and part “B” together to produce a part ‘AB”. The secondoperation is the glue drying time of part “AB”. The third operation is to glue part “C” to part“AB”. The forth operation is to dry part “ABC”. Since there is a minimum robot trajectoryactivity during the glue drying process, a
