Agent- and Skill-Based Process Interoperability for Socio-Technical Production Systems-of-Systems

Abstract

In this research work, we take an interoperability point of view on “production systems-of-systems”. Interoperability of production processes requires a stepwise planning of resources. An approach supporting the orchestration and coordination of human and artificial agents (i.e. collaborative robots) is developed. First tasks are assigned to production resources/agents, followed by an interaction and task execution design. Another step taken into account is the technology used as a human-robot interface.
