Multi-Agent Systems and Manufacturing ControlAutonomous cognitive systems

The SMACF 404 Laboratory (Multi-Agent Systems and Manufacturing Control) focuses on the development of methods, architectures, and implementation solutions for decentralized digital automatic control systems composed of autonomous entities with intelligent decision-making capabilities, networked and implemented through mobile software agents. This lab studies theories and extended modeling mechanisms through virtualization, simulation, network control, optimization, robotics, and artificial vision. The research includes both theoretical studies and experimental implementations.
