Abstract
The aim of this contribution is to introduce concepts and possible approaches which can be used in simulation and a build-up of active components for Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems. An interesting class of active elements in CIM are the systems capable of autonomous behavior in an undetermined way in partly known and/or varying environments. This requires from the system the abilities of autonomous data acquisition and interpretation, decision making, activity planning, and plan execution, all being dependent on the current state of the environment. As the afore-mentioned properties typically appear in intelligent robots, the class of autonomous self-guided vehicles belongs to possible CIM applications in material transportation, part delivery, etc. The capabilities desired for these systems are obtained by making-use of A1 methods, the experiencing of which and the achieved results are presented in the following.
