Integration of Autonomous Task Planning into Reconfigurable Skill-Based Industrial Robots

The application of industrial robots can help companies to achieve competitive advantages. Therefore, industrial robots need to be able to complete a wide variety of tasks at short notice in today’s highly customized and dynamic production environment. However, this is contrary to the current situation. Configuring and programming robots is a challenging and time-consuming task. In this paper, we present our approach to integrating autonomous task planning into reconfigurable skill-based industrial robots. As a result, robots will coordinate their diverse tasks autonomously, and thus take the challenging and time-consuming job of robot programming away from the user.
