Intelligent recognition of assembly behaviors of workshop production personnel is crucial to improve production assembly efficiency and ensure production safety. This paper proposes a graph convolutional network model for assembly behavior recognition based on attention mechanism and multi-scale feature fusion. The proposed model learns the potential relationship between assembly actions and assembly tools for recognizing assembly behaviors. Meanwhile, the introduction of an attention mechanism helps the network to focus on the key information in assembly behavior images. Besides, the multi-scale feature fusion module is introduced to enable the network to better extract image features at different scales. This paper constructs a data set containing 15 types of workshop production behaviors, and the proposed assembly behavior recognition model is tested on this data set. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves good recognition results, with an average assembly recognition accuracy of 93.1%.
