Evolvable Assembly Systems : A Development Roadmap

• A new paradigm, the Evolvable Assembly Systems (EAS), was recently proposed. This paradigm provides a complete new view on how assembly systems should be designed and developed. Because the control system is one of the key aspects for a successful implementation of EAS this paper proposes a development roadmap to pinpoint directions of research on how control systems should be developed. It is expected that with this information the industry can envision the potential benefits in terms of competitiveness of this approach; still, this paper is especially targeted to motivate researchers from self-organisation and distributed assembly systems to engage in this endeavour together. In particular, topics on self-organisation, emergence, dynamical systems, and distributed artificial intelligence can be the backbone of truly self-adapting assembly systems. In fact EAS seems to be a really demanding and grounded case-study for the referred research communities.
