Popis: This paper addresses manufacturing research involving contributions in computer science, control theory and material processing science. The research objective has been to develop intelligent, †self-directed‡ control systems which enable in situ control path generation based on †product-processing‡ feedback. A †product-directed‡ control philosophy which emphasizes product quality is described together with a generic architecture for representing process knowledge. Specific details are presented involving the development and application of a self-directed material processing system for autoclave curing of composites together with recent research results, production challenges and future research in †self-improving‡ material processing systems.
