Autonomous planning tool for changeable assembly systems

Path planning in changeable environments

Autonomous Processes in Assembly Systems

Today’s assembly systems have to be flexible to adapt quickly to an increasing number and variety of products and changing demand volume. To manage these dynamics, flexible, reconfigurable, and autonomous assembly systems were proposed and partly realised in the last two decades. The flexibility and adaptability is realised by clustering the assembly system into subsystems and modules which get...

Model-Based Reactive Planning for Autonomous Systems

The Problem: To achieve robustness, autonomous systems, such as deep space explorers, and embedded systems, such as intelligent automobiles, must be able to repair or reconfigure their underlying hardware as failures occur. This requires planning algorithms that are able to reason from engineering models, in order to generate novel command sequences. These planners are similar to STRIPs-style p...

A Tool for Autonomous Ground-Based Rover Planning

This paper discusses a proof-of-concept prototype for ground-based automatic generation of validated rover command sequences from high-level science and engineering activities. This prototype is based on ASPEN, the Automated Scheduling and Planning Environment. This Artificial Intelligence (AI) based planning and scheduling system will automatically generate a command sequence that will execute...

applying genetic algorithm for an integrated supply and production/distribution planning in assembly systems

abstract: an efficient supply chain system operates under a strategy to minimize costs by integrating the different functions inside the system and by meeting customer demands in time. in this paper, an integrated supply-production and distribution planning (spdp) is considered despite the fact that in most of the papers, part of the supply chain has been studied, not all parts. therefore, we d...
