Abstract

[This chapter discusses the flexibility aspects of production systems that use highly interactive and autonomous mobile robotic units. A method for multi criteria decision making is used and executed over a distributed communication architecture. The robotic resources can sense the environment, schedule and if necessary, reschedule their tasks and finally automatically execute their manufacturing operations. This approach has been implemented on a software system via the Robot Operating System-ROS, along with the ontology technology. Services are used for transactions between stationary and mobile robots towards the implementation of a process plan. The units can cooperate and determine their course of actions. This approach was applied to an experimental cell, where the system managed to implement production plans for the packaging of small sized products without human intervention.]
