Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in Robotics. According to news reporting out of Mawson Lakes, Australia, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "The development of resilience in manufacturing system s has drawn more attention than ever. Using redundant components is one of the k ey strategies for building and enhancing the resilience of a manufacturing syste m." Funders for this research include University of South Australia, Australian Gove rnment Research Training Program (RTP). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of S outh Australia, "However, current redundancy strategies require duplicated machi nery employed either in active or in standby status. This in turn causes extra c osts in designing and achieving resilience. Achieving an efficient deployment of the redundant component in the face of failures is also challenging. In this pa per, we introduce a novel redundancy strategy, called adaptive standby redundanc y (ASR), to achieve resilient performance for discrete manufacturing systems whi le reducing the cost of employing the duplicated components that are typically u sed in traditional systems. This novel strategy permits achievement of high leve ls of utilisation of the system and graceful degradation in case of failure, kee ping the system functional."
