Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are very complex systems with large part, tool, and information flows. The aim of this work is to develop a knowledge-based decision support system (KBDSS) for short-term scheduling in FMS strongly influenced by the tool management concept to provide a significant operational control tool for a wide range of machining cells, where a high level of flexibility...

Deciding how to manipulate an object fulfill a goal requires accessing different types of object-related information. How these information are integrated and represented in the brain is still open question. Here, we focus on examining two information–tool-gesture knowledge (i.e., object), tool-gesture production actual manipulation object). We show double dissociation between production: Patie...
