Abstract
All types of automated manufacturing systems, which are often balanced automation systems are broadly using robots, manipulators, etc. This paper gives a restricted survey on the application of some of the so called artificial intelligence (AI) methods and tools which can be used to model, simulate, design and implement systems with robot and manipulator applications. Al in design and planning of robotic systems means the application of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Expert Systems (ES), Knowledge Based Systems (KB S), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Petri nets, Fuzzy Systems (FS), Genetic Algorithms (GA), Object-Oriented Technologies (OO), and several other things including pattern recognition, vision, voice and tactile systems and learning. Modelling and simulation in our recent understanding are more design assistance tools, than the goal of AI applications thus they completely fit into our recent topics. The paper deals not only with manufacturing and assembly applications, but with other intelligent robotic issues as well, as autonomous robots, moving robots, surgery robots, etc.
