Application of Modern Information Technologies in the Formation of Collective Design Competencies on the Example of Group Management of Heterogeneous Robots

Abstract

The subject of these studies is to propose an approach to the formation of collective design competencies in the new digitalization environment. The relevance of the task in various fields of activity is shown. It is noted that while the latest information technologies, which appeared in the era of universal digitalization, are not yet sufficiently applied to build the competencies of designers as part of collective activities, the training of specialists is mainly carried out as part of individual projects. The studies were conducted on the basis of the actual applied task of collective design of group control of heterogeneous robots. The unique relationship of the object (group control) and the method of its research (group parallel design) is noted. A connection is established between the features of the ongoing project of group control of robots and the formation of in-depth competencies in the training of specialists in robotics and mechatronics. New representations of functional models are formed taking into account the needs of new information technologies. Within the framework of parallel and compositional design technologies based on CDP4 ™- and System Composer ™, models have been obtained that implement functional schemes for group control of heterogeneous robots in two versions, suitable for use both for educational purposes to form team design competencies and for real projects.
