Artificial intelligence in the factory of the future

This paper describes the Intelligent Management System (IMS) project, which is part of the Factory of the Future project in the Robotics Institute of Carnegie-Mellon University. IMS is a long term project concerned with applying artificial intelligence techniques in aiding professionals and managers in their day to day tasks. This report discusses both the long term goals of IMS, and current research.
