Abstract:

The main idea of the project, launched for the first time, is the advanced control and balancing reversible manufacturing lines (lines performing both, assembling and disassembling) using wheeled mobile robots, equipped with robotic manipulators. It proposes a new approach to manufacturing flow optimization problem: aggregation problems at levels of continuous and discrete event in a hybrid system. The control objectives are: balancing flows of reversible manufacturing by developing optimal loading strategy workstations, advanced robotic systems control for precision movement with a certain path, for variable load, but in temporal windows, ordering the manufacturing correlated with dynamic control of the queue and the control of robotic systems as continuously nonlinear autonomous system. Hybrid system will be structured in two subsystems: the discrete event system and the continuous system for advanced robotic control to ensure robust functioning of balancing, assembling and disassembling. The study will focus on defining a hybrid control system which automatically synthesizes a hybrid supervisor. Modeling, balancing and control of reversible manufacturing lines, serviced by robotic manipulators mounted on wheeled mobile robots, is addressed for the first time and is an absolute novelty part of the proposal. Making reversible and controlling an assembling line, in order to perform disassembling, served by wheeled mobile robots equipped with robotic manipulators, is also a premiere.
