Knowledge-driven industrial robotics for flexible production

The paper concentrate on the development of an innovative robotic system based on ontologies as knowledge-source used to solve shortcomings of the state-of-the-art solutions. The description of the product in form of ontologies facilitates the autonomous reasoning about the used concepts linking product model, manufacturing process and production infrastructure. By applying our ontology-driven concept, we tend to enhance not only the flexibility of each component's control architecture but would also lower the configuration cost for new products with respect to required time and expertise. The approach is anticipated for demonstration in two diverse industrial use cases.
