  • Patent number: 11941561
    Abstract: A subtask assignment system for assisting groups of workers to complete a task more efficiently. The task may comprise a physical assembly task of an object. The physical assembly task comprises a plurality of subtasks that must each be completed to complete the physical assembly task. The subtask assignment system may include an assignment server connected to a plurality of user devices via a network, each user device being operated by a particular worker. The assignment server may execute an assignment engine that receives inputs describing the overall task and group of workers, generates a task model representing the task based on the inputs, populates a parameters table based on the inputs, and automatically determines subtask assignments for the group of workers based on the task model and the parameters table. The assignment server determines an optimal subtask to assign to each worker based on the parameters.
