9724497 Lewis New developments in telecommunications systems, wireless networks, flexible manufacturing systems, etc. place severe demands on the design of decision-making supervisory controllers. On the other hand, new developments in advanced machinery, manufacturing tooling, lightweight and mobile robots, etc. place high demands on the design of real-time device-level motion controllers. The objective of this project is to design a controller with both multi-agent decision-making and machine-level motion control functions. To achieve this objective, new pieces of equipment are required for the development of an intelligent material handling cell (for multi-agent supervisory control), the development of a real-time control system (for machine-level control), and the development of a FMS/Machine Tool Controller (including both supervisory and real-time motion control functions). The equipment is essential for the development of a new class of controllers which have both multi-agent decision-making and machine-level motion control functions. The project benefits from the collaborative relationship of the investigators with companies such as Simis Labs and Caterpiller Inc.

9724497刘易斯电信系统、无线网络、柔性制造系统等的新发展对决策监督控制器的设计提出了严格的要求。 另一方面，先进机械、制造工装、轻量化和移动的机器人等的新发展，对实时设备级运动控制器的设计提出了很高的要求。 本计画的目标是设计一个兼具多智能体决策与机器层级运动控制功能的控制器。 为了实现这一目标，需要新的设备来开发智能材料处理单元（用于多代理监督控制），开发实时控制系统（用于机器级控制），以及开发FMS/机床控制器（包括监督和实时运动控制功能）。 该设备是必不可少的一类新的控制器，具有多智能体决策和机器级运动控制功能的发展。 该项目得益于研究人员与Simis Labs和Caterpiller Inc.等公司的合作关系。
