Abstract
The use of distributed constraint satisfaction problem for the coordination of holonic schemes that include multi-robot systems is investigated here. The formalism needed to apply the constraint satisfaction approach for manufacturing problems is discussed and exemplified in a case study. An implementing solution is also introduced. The proposed method determines safe operation even in cases with conflicting goals, without using any centralized component.
