Utility
Systems and methods for executing a plan associated with multiple equipment by using rule-based inference
29 Mar 22
A recursive structure of inference rules is disclosed that enables translation of sensed data into high level predicates, e.g. to authorize the starts and ends of actions and detect violation of invariants, hence enabling coordination at different levels and/or across different domains at the same level within a multi-domain architecture.
