Abstract
An autonomous system used for a production process includes a device configured to manipulate workpieces according to production process tasks. A device controller generates world model of the autonomous system to include data objects representing respective physical objects in the production process, such as workspace, workpieces, and the device. Semantic markers attached to the data objects include information related to a skill to accomplish a task objective. Semantic markers may be activated or deactivated depending on whether the physical object is currently available for a task performance. The device is controlled to perform tasks guided by the semantic markers while relying on an anticipation function with reasoning operations based on types of physical objects, types of skills, and configuration of the data objects.
