Flexible Manufacturing System Based on the Kamara Concepts

A new approach of using multi-agent and robot systems in terms of transport and logistics in industrial environments is defined. The robot system based on KAMARA principles described in the paper „The Distributed Control Architecture KAMARA“ of this book. A theoretic-based strategy for agent modelling is used to determine the information that is necessary for collision avoidance in the two-arm system described in the paper „Dead-Lock Avoidance and Optimisation in Distributed Robotic System“. The objective of this paper is to present existing manufacturing systems in an industrial environment and to develop the requirements for future systems in the area of flexible series production.
