Intelligent Material Handling Systems: Intelligent Dynamic Control of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Systems

该奖项是ENG/CEISE联合工程/计算机信息科学工程在智能材料处理系统方面的研究重点。目的是开发一种用于自动导引车系统动态控制的智能系统。该系统使用选择性注意机制检查车间发生的事件以及这些事件的原因。该系统将在汽车行业进行大量的行业合作开发和测试。在追求全自动化制造的过程中，需要克服的最大障碍之一是缺乏对计算机部分车间的全球视角的“理解”。这一研究努力代表了打破这一障碍的一种尝试。与最先进的制造设施的直接接口提高了努力的技术转移潜力，并增强了其对其他学术和工业环境的适用性。

This award is in the joint engineering/computer information science engineering ENG/CISE research thrust in Intelligent Material Handling Systems. The objective is to develop an intelligent system for the dynamic control of automated guided vehicle systems. The system examines events occurring on the shop floor and reasons about those events using a selective attention mechanism. The system will be developed and tested with substantial industrial collaboration in the automotive sector. One of the greatest hurdles to overcome in the pursuit of fully automated manufacturing is the lack of "understanding" of a global view of the shop floor on the part of the computer. This research effort represents an attempt to break down this barrier. The direct interface with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility enhances the technology transfer potential of the effort and its applicability to other academic and industrial settings.
