Excerpt from Coordinated Motion Planning for Two Independent Robots Another recent work on coordinated motion planning is [el]; they use a more heuristic approach, whose worst case performance is inferior to that of our technique. We also obtain nearly quadratic algorithms for coordinated motion planning for practically any pair of independently moving systems with two degrees of freedom each, and several other efficient coordinated motion planning algorithms for pairs of more complex systems, or even of larger groups of such systems.

Two robot arms working in a common workspace may collide because each of them is a dynamic obstacle for the other one. Motion Path Planning (MPP) is the process of finding a track that a robot/robot arm can follow to get to the target starting from any point in its workspace. In this Thesis, a collision-free MPP for two manipulators sharing a workspace is trained with reinforcement learning, specifically a Team Q-Learning algorithm, and two methods are considered for state discretization. For complicated models, a great deal of machine time is spent on calculation and decision making, while Look Up tables are usually fast on fly. In this approach, initially, the moving manipulator knows nothing about the workspace and the obstacles, but after enough exploration it learns optimal collision-free paths. Here, two methods are considered for state discretization, namely General State Discretization (GSD) and Tile Coding Discretization (TCD) in terms of Q-learning methods, both single-agent and multi-agent approaches are tested for 2-link manipulators. It is shown that the proposed GSD will end in smaller sets of states compared to TCD and a faster learning process. Without GSD a Q-learning approach could be very hard to apply to the model of two manipulators in a common workspace.

Flexibility is as acceptable an objective for today's industrial community as is automation. Thus, the title of this conference proceedings volume - Flexible Automation - reflects an added emphasis to the usual industrial automation. As with general automation that has impacted every component of the manufacturing office and plant, the identity of flexible automation can possess various forms and functions. The papers in this volume have been grouped into two main categories. One category deals with implementation of so-called "intelligent manufacturing". This means use of algorithmic methods and artificial intelligence approaches to various problems encountered in practical factory automation tasks. The placement of papers into five chapters of this part cannot be very precise, due to multidisciplinary nature and constant rapid change of the field. The categories are arranged starting from problems of enhancement of current factory settings, and followed by the papers addressing more specific issues of production planning, process technology and product engineering. The fifth chapter contains papers on the very important aspects of factory automation - problems of design, simulation, operation and monitoring of manufacturing cells.
