Abstract
Task planning and action planning for workshop machines are essential for modern manufacturing. Traditionally, these two problems are solved independently with elaborate manual methods. However, personalized customization introduces more dynamic exogenous events into the manufacturing system, and it is then impossible to consider all possible dynamic scenarios manually. This paper focuses on online automated planning, generating new plans automatically in response to new dynamic situations. We first formulate the planning problem for a flexible manufacturing system as a fully observable nondeterministic planning problem. Second, a hierarchical automated online planning approach is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by an ARIAC 2022 competition environment.
期刊介绍:
The journal, Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, focuses on sharing research applications that contribute to the development of new or enhanced robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies that are relevant to industry. Papers that combine theory and experimental validation are preferred, while review papers on current robotics and manufacturing issues are also considered. However, papers on traditional machining processes, modeling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimization are generally not within the scope of the journal, as there are more appropriate journals for these topics. Similarly, papers that are overly theoretical or mathematical will be directed to other suitable journals. The journal welcomes original papers in areas such as industrial robotics, human-robot collaboration in manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
