CONSTRUCTION OF WORLD MODELS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING ALGORITHMS IN AGILE ARCHITECTURES FOR PRODUCTION: THE BINARY SYSTEMS CASE

The present paper focuses on the construction of World Models for empowering a control system with intelligent behaviour, for the specific case study of binary systems; namely, systems in which each variable can take one out of two values. The model is built on a logical theory that incorporates the knowledge derived from the results of a set of experiments conducted by the system utilizing a set of different algorithms. In order to materialize the experimentation, it has been built a software capable of undertaking runs of experiments (guided by a human programmer or even by itself standalone) in order to generate a World Model. Based on this initial model, and given the specifications of the final desired state, the program is capable of setting a strategy to achieve the required goal, and to refine it in order to find the best possible strategy undertaking the minimum number of operations.
