Intelligent Material Handling Systems: An Enabling Environment for Design and Control of Intelligent Material Handling Systems

该奖项是在联合工程/计算机信息 科学工程ENG/CISE研究推进智能 物料搬运系统。 目标是制定一个 智能材料处理系统的环境。 这 环境将整合，分析和综合技术，从 运筹学、人工智能、控制工程、 几何、机器人、视觉和并行计算 无缝、可扩展的材料设计和控制系统 处理系统. 这种环境的发展需要一些 上述每个领域的基本问题， 解决或调整，使它们在材料处理中有用。 此外，将这些领域的成果整合为一个单一的 系统提出了一些涉及通信的问题， 资源分配和接口协议等 概念验证系统展示了智能 材料处理有利环境（IMHEE）将得到发展。 该系统将被配置为控制材料处理系统 在两个不同的领域：工厂车间和建筑施工 网站.

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 enabling environment for intelligent material handling systems. This environment will integrate, analysis and synthesis techniques from Operations Research, Artificial Intelligence, Controls Engineering, Geometry, Robotics and Vision and Parallel Computing into a seamless, extendable system for design and control of material handling systems. The development of such an environment requires that a number of fundamental problems in each of the areas mentioned above be solved or adapted to make them useful in material handling. Further, integration of results from these areas into a single system raises a number of questions involving communications, resources allocation and interfacing protocol etc. A proof-of-concept system demonstrating the concept of an intelligent material handling enabling environment (IMHEE) will be developed. This system will be configured to control material handling systems in two different domains: factory floors and building construction sites.
