Q-Model: An Artificial Intelligence Based Methodology for the Development of Autonomous Robots

Abstract

The increasing individualization of products reinforces the importance of decoupled factories in production processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a recognized technology for problem solving and accelerates automation by enabling systems to act independently. In the field of robotics, there are new deep learning approaches which make robotic control systems human independent. This work provides a literature overview of the current state of development methodologies, showing that there are only limited methods available for the development of artificial intelligent robots. We present a novel development methodology based on artificial intelligence, particularly deep reinforcement learning. The so-called Q-model can enable robots to learn specific tasks independently. In summary, we show how an AI-based methodology assists the development of autonomous robots along the product lifecycle.

User experience evaluation for a bus tracking apps in smart campus initiative

“…A good methodology will ensure the comprehensiveness of requirements of the system will be captured and the success of development within the budget and time allocated. We apply the rapid application development (RAD) method as it able to monitor the progress of development through several prototyping during the process [12], [13]. RAD is a method that focuses on designed development cycle much faster with higher quality results compared to other development methodologies.…”

Design of a Deep Post Gripping Perception Framework for Industrial Robots

“…The trend in the production environments is a continuously decreasing number of predictable assembly lines [3]. This means that developing new automation solutions has to follow agile methods that reduce the time to produce [4][5][6][7][8]. Also, the flexibility of industrial robots has to be increased, so that they can be deployed in different stations.…”
