Cooperative Material Handling by Human and Robotic Agents:Module Development and System Synthesis

In this paper we present the results of a collaborative effort to design and implement a system for cooperative material handling by a small team of human and robotic agents in an unstructured indoor environment. Our approach makes fundamental use of human agents\u27 expertise for aspects of task planning, task monitoring, and error recovery. Our system is neither fully autonomous nor fully teleoperated. It is designed to make effective use of human abilities within the present state of the art of autonomous systems. It is designed to allow for and promote cooperative interaction between distributed agents with various capabilities and resources. Our robotic agents refer to systems which are each equipped with at least one sensing modality and which possess some capability for self-orientation and/or mobility. Our robotic agents are not required to be homogeneous with respect to either capabilities or function. Our research stresses both paradigms and testbed experimentation. Theory issues include the requisite coordination principles and techniques which are fundamental to the basic functioning of such a cooperative multi-agent system. We have constructed a testbed facility for experimenting with distributed multi-agent architectures. The required modular components of this testbed are currently operational and have been tested individually. Our current research focuses on the integration of agents in a scenario for cooperative material handling

Manajemn Sistem Pergudangan/Warehouse Peralatan Laboratorium Teknik Mesin Universitas Riau Berbasis Komputerisasi

The warehouse management is a system to manage a storage and handling of goods and material, which are stored and distributed in a right time, amount and the specification. The Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering, University of Riau is equipped with goods and material to support its activities. Hence, it is needed a system to manage the storage and handling of such equipments in optimal manner. Recently, the warehousingat the Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering, University of Riau has been used the manual system. Subsequent, there was not optimal to manage activities in the laboratory such as time consuming, mess of storage, difficulty in finding data equipments, etc. This research aim is to design and develop a warehouse management system of the Laboratory in Mechanical Engineering, Riau University. A method of 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) and the warehouse laboratory based information system were implemented in this research. Stages to construct the information system of warehouse management were: the design of database system, the menu structure, sub-systems and the display model of interface system (users interface). This systemwas developed using the programming language of the PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) and MySQL as the database. The information system of laboratory based-computerization was useful for managing and monitoring the activities in Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering in form of incoming or outgoing the data of goods and material. While, the design of warehouse layout of facilities in laboratory of Mechanical Engineering, University of Riau used the 5S method, was produced clean and neatly arranged of the equipments and tools

A framework for smart production-logistics systems based on CPS and industrial IoT

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has received increasing attention from both academia and industry. However, several challenges including excessively long waiting time and a serious waste of energy still exist in the IIoT-based integration between production and logistics in job shops. To address these challenges, a framework depicting the mechanism and methodology of smart production-logistics systems is proposed to implement intelligent modeling of key manufacturing resources and investigate self-organizing configuration mechanisms. A data-driven model based on analytical target cascading is developed to implement the self-organizing configuration. A case study based on a Chinese engine manufacturer is presented to validate the feasibility and evaluate the performance of the proposed framework and the developed method. The results show that the manufacturing time and the energy consumption are reduced and the computing time is reasonable. This paper potentially enables manufacturers to deploy IIoT-based applications and improve the efficiency of production-logistics systems
