This paper looks at the adoption challenges of multiagent systems as an implementation of the intelligent manufacturing concept, which intends to offer a system characterized by its flexibility, reconfigurability, autonomy, reliability and learning capabilities. It describes the concept of multi-agent systems, its generic architecture and some relevant industrial implementations. Additionally, it...
The project XPRESS introduces a completely new scalable concept of an expertonic networked factory, which is composed by a co-ordinated team of specialized autonomous objects (expertons), each knowing how to do a certain process optimally. This paper looks in particular to the transport experton implementation, which is an experton responsible to carry material at the shop-floor. It is suggested an...
This paper addresses the identification of the key elements to be present in a generic, behaviour-based architecture for robot control. These elements include the definition of behaviours aiming at rough task execution and the use of learning to improve the performance of the primitive behaviour set. Experimental results, with real and simulated systems, to demonstrate cooperative behaviour between...
