Discrete event modelling, simulation and control of distributed manipulation environment

Conventional robotics has proved to be inflexible and non-generic and a radical change is required before robotics can be successfully used in automation of today's competitive industries. The primary aim of this project is to study the concept of distributed robotics in the context of Distributed Manipulation Environment (DME) as a new approach for flexible automation, and identify methodologies required for the design and development of such systems.
