Learning outcomes

This course provides an in-depth look at different knowledge representation languages and their application to intelligent manufacturing systems. The course will explore how reasoning machines are able to collaborate and automatically reconfigure to meet evolving production needs and achieve rapid product changeover. This is the basis for creating Rapidly Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RRMS). Considering knowledge as the fundamental premise for attaining intelligence, the course will cover different automatic reasoning mechanisms based on logics and inference. After the course, student should be able to capture and model the knowledge in the given problem domain. The student must understand the principles of reasoning. S/he should be able to construct basic queries on knowledge models.
