Abstract
The Eupass project (www.eupass.org) proposes to develop assembly systems, especially in the field of ultra precision assembly, with evolvable skills to fit a wide range of products being assembled by applying a “Zero-Engineering” approach for the switch-over from one product to another. The Eupass partners are currently developing a machine line network with new and additional machine and device discovery mechanisms, synchronization and data exchange capabilities. By means of a common behavioral model, machines and devices connected to a network can jointly be discovered, commanded and execute any programmed activity in a collaborative way — developing evolvable skills exceeding the skill set of the singular machines.
