Nested Rollout Policy Adaptation for Multiagent System Optimization in Manufacturing

2017

Abstract

In manufacturing there are not only flow lines with stations arranged one behind the other, but also more complex networks of stations where assembly operations are performed. The considerable difference from sequential flow lines is that a partially ordered set of required components are brought together in order to form a single unit at the assembly stations in a competitive multiagent system scenario. In this paper we optimize multiagent control for such flow production units with recent advances of Nested Monte-Carlo Search. The optimization problem is implemented as a single-agent game in a generic search framework. In particular, we employ Nested Monte-Carlo Search with Rollout Policy Adaptation and apply it to a modern flow production unit, comparing it to solutions obtained with a simulator and with a model checker.
