Assembly refers to the process of putting together individual components or parts to create a larger structure, product, or system. In the context of research, assembly can refer to the study of how individual components or elements come together to form a cohesive whole. This can include understanding the mechanisms by which components interact and fit together, as well as optimizing the assembly process for efficiency and accuracy. Assembly research can be applied to various fields such as manufacturing, robotics, biology, and materials science.
