Abstract:The integration of design and planning of flexible assembly system has been recognized as a tool for achieving efficient assembly in a production environment that demands assembly with a high degree of flexibility. This paper proposes a concurrent intelligent approach and framework for the design of robotic flexible assembly systems. The principle of the proposed approach is based on the knowledge Petri net formalisms, incorporating Petri nets with more general problem-solving strategies in AI using knowledge-based system techniques. The complex assembly systems are modeled and analyzed by adopting a formal representation of the system dynamic behaviors through knowledge Petri net modeling from the specifications and the analysis of those models. A template is first defined for a knowledge Petri net model, and then the models for assembly system individuals are established in the form of instances of the template. The design of assembly systems is implemented through a knowledge Petri net-based function–behavior–structure model. The research results show that the proposed knowledge Petri net approach is applicable for design, simulation, analysis and evaluation, and even layout optimization of the flexible assembly system in an integrated intelligent environment. The integration of assembly design and planning process can help reduce the development time of assembly systems.
