Intelligent software agent technology has been widely used in manufacturing to make plants more agile and dynamic to satisfy frequently changed requirements from market. After illustrating agent applications in measurement and manufacturing, a multi-agent architecture for measurement system for advanced manufacturing with characteristics of distribution, collaboration and openness is presented, which...
This paper proposes a middleware architecture that serves as a framework for the management of industrial processes in an industrial grid environment. The proposed system is based on agents making possible the effective distribution of intelligence, thus fortifying the survivability of the industrial network, while a central point of monitoring and control allows agent monitoring. By the term `agent'...
The interest of the creation of robots with emotions has been growing for the last years mainly in the topic of human-robot interaction. This paper focuses in the emotion as a mechanism for the organisation of the robot behaviour. An emotional robot should be adapted in real-time to the conditions of the environment based on its physical (actuators) and on its mental (processes) capabilities. A real-time...
This paper discusses a new approach to the development life-cycle of agent-based production control applications, from the design to the operation, based in a catalogue of high-level Petri nets. The high-level Petri net-based approach facilitates the conception, definition and formal specification of an "encapsulation process" in industrial production systems. The catalogue includes elements...
In this paper we present an approach that customize the BDI model to define a so-called "DIBRA: desire-intention-belief-rapport-adaptation" as a generic method to support progress from individual autonomous agent concept towards interactive multiple agents. Rapport here refers to the component that connects an agent to its environment, whereas adaptation module incorporates mechanisms of...
The new reconfigurable manufacturing paradigm requires development of systematic methods, and software tools, for the rapid design and builds up of production systems that change the capacity and functionality in response to the market demand. The effectiveness of reconfiguration depends upon the development of such tools. In this work, the new concept consisting of ontology knowledge based systems...
