Abstract
This paper describes the development and use of a knowledge based system for the simulation and control of robot cells. The system has been developed as an extension of the KEE-SIMKIT knowledge based simulation toolkit to allow the reuse of simulation modules for the development of system configuration and actual robot supervisory control policy. The operation of the system has been applied to the configuration and control problem of a real manufacturing and assembly robot cell with a given basic structure. Control strategies include the development of an expert robot scheduler.
