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

该奖项是在联合工程/计算机信息 科学工程ENG/CISE研究在智能推力 物料搬运系统。 目标是制定一个 智能型自动导引动态控制系统 车辆系统。 该系统检查商店中发生的事件 使用选择性注意的地板和原因 机制 该系统将开发和测试， 在汽车行业进行实质性的工业合作。 在追求自由的过程中最大的障碍之一 完全自动化的制造是缺乏“理解”的一个 在计算机的一部分上的车间的全局视图。 这 研究工作代表了打破这一障碍的尝试。 与最先进的制造设施的直接接口 加强这项工作的技术转让潜力， 适用于其他学术和工业环境。

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.
