SIMULATION IN AGENT-BASED CONTROL SYSTEMS: MAST CASE STUDY

Abstract The paper discusses the role of simulation in agent-based control systems. We present the universal runtime interface enabling efficient interactions between the agent control, manufacturing environment (emulated or physically connected), visualization and low-level real-time control programs. As a case study, we provide the description of the MAST simulation tool and its application to Cambridge packing cell.
