Rapid advances in Industry 4.0 have the potential to transform production planning and control (PPC) through emerging concept of smart PPC. This paper provides a visionary perspective by addressing gap research on how characteristics company's environment impact need for, benefit of, The posits that PPC improve performance increases with complexity environment. A set propositions is developed f...

The Multimodal User Supervised Interface and Intelligent Control (MUSIIC) project is working towards the development of an assistive robotic system which integrates human-computer interaction with reactive planning techniques borrowed from arti cial intelligence. The MUSIIC system is intended to operate in an unstructured environment, rather than in a structured workcell, allowing users with ph...

The goal of this research is to enhance the capabilities of transport vehicles so that they can carry delicate objects of various shapes and sizes without requiring extensive packaging to protect them. This will be achieved, as first proposed by Graf and Dillmann (1997), by mounting a robotic device on top of the vehicle whose motion compensates for any forces or torques that act on the objects...
