Research Abstract |
This study can be concluded as following : 1. Framework of Interactive Manufacturing Systems Firstly, the difficulties of problems in the current manufacturing have been classified. To overcome the most difficult class, Class III, Interactive Manufacturing Systems has been proposed. To use virtual space has been proposed in order to realize Interactive Manufacturing, and the relationship between virtual and real spaces has been theoretically concerned. 2. Interactive Environment Using Virtual Space The method to connect self-organization simulation with virtual space has been proposed to realize an interactive environment. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified, because interactions between artifacts and human in the virtual pace have been able to be observed in the experiments. 3. Manufacturing Systems Using Reinforcement Learning To realize interactions between artifacts and human in the Interactive Manufacturing, the artifacts should be able to adapt to the action by human. In this study, manufacturing system using reinforcement learning, where the objective can be achieved as the result of local interactions between autonomous elements, has been proposed. Because the objectives, minimizing deviation from due date and maximizing throughput, have been achieved in the experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified.
