Abstract

This paper describes the method to decide AGVs’ action planning in decentralized autonomous FMS operations. The method is to use information from each agent and to foresee the future operation situations of FMS in advance by guessing a few steps of the next actions that AGV can take. The method is called RAF(Future Reasoning to Anticipate the Future). RAF consists of a hypothetical reasoning to consider the next actions that AGV can take as competitive hypotheses and a discrete simulator to foresee the future. Because of RAF, the pre-scheduling of AGV movements and input parts orders is useless. RAF was applied to decentralized autonomous FMSs and executed virtual productions.
