- Multiple Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) requires self-organising task allocation to adapt to varying operation goals and workspace changes. However, nowadays an HRC system relies on predefined task arrangements for human and robot agents, which fails to accomplish complicated manufacturing tasks consisting of various operation sequences and different mechanical parts. To overcome the bottleneck, this paper proposes a temporal subgraph reasoning-based method for self-organising HRC task planning between multiple agents. Firstly, a tri-layer Knowledge Graph (KG) is defined to depict task-agent-operation relations in HRC tasks. Then, a subgraph mechanism is introduced to learn node embeddings from subregions of the HRC KG, which distills implicit information from local object sets. Thirdly, a temporal reasoning module is leveraged to integrate features from previous records and update the HRC KG for forecasting humans' and robots' subsequent operations. Finally, a car engine assembly task is demonstrated to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which outperforms other benchmarks in experimental results.

- Scheduling scheme is one of the critical factors affecting the production efficiency. In the actual production, anomalies will lead to scheduling deviation and influence scheme execution, which makes the traditional job shop scheduling methods are not sufficient to meet the needs of real-time and accuracy. By introducing digital twin (DT), further convergence between physical and virtual space can be achieved, which enormously reinforces real-time performance of job shop scheduling. For flexible job shop, an anomaly detection and dynamic scheduling framework based on DT is proposed in this paper. Previously, a multi-level production process monitoring model is proposed to detect anomaly. Then, a real-time optimization strategy of scheduling scheme based on rolling window mechanism is explored to enforce dynamic scheduling optimization. Finally, the improved grey wolf optimization algorithm is introduced to solve the scheduling problem. Under this framework, it is possible to monitor the deviation between the actual processing state and the planned processing state in real time and effectively reduce the deviation. An equipment manufacturing job shop is taken as a case study to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed framework.

- An Industrial Internet platform is acknowledged to be a requisite promoter for smart manufacturing, enabling physical manufacturing resources to be virtualized and permitting resources to collaborate in the form of services. As a central function of the platform, manufacturing service collaboration optimization is dedicated to establishing high-quality service collaboration solutions for manufacturing tasks. Such optimization is inseparable from the functional and amount requirements of a task, which must be satisfied when orchestrating services. However, existing manufacturing service collaboration optimization methods mainly focus on horizontal collaboration among services for functional demands and rarely consider vertical collaboration to cover the needed amounts. To address this gap, this paper proposes a dual-dimensional service collaboration methodology that combines functional and amount collaboration. First, a multi-granularity manufacturing service modeling method is presented to describe services. On this basis, a dual-dimensional manufacturing service collaboration optimization (DMSCO) model is formulated. In the vertical dimension, multiple functionally equivalent services form a service cluster to fulfill a subtask; in the horizontal dimension, complementary service clusters collaborate for the entire task. Service selection and amount distribution to the selected services are critical issues in the model. To solve the problem, a multi-objective memetic algorithm with multiple local search operators is tailored. The algorithm embeds a competition mechanism to dynamically adjust the selection probabilities of the local search operators. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm in terms of convergence, solution quality, and comprehensive metrics, in comparison with commonly used algorithms.
