Description
Summary:We share our experience and lessons learned from participating in the Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC), 2021. We won 1st place in the finals and benefited from an agent-based architecture, task assignment strategy, and modular software programming design method based on the Unified Modeling Language. •An agent-based architecture is proposed to implement an agile industrial robotics system.•Instant task assignment strategy for scheduling in proposed to handle the unknown disturbances.•The development takes loosely-coupled software modules to reduce the design effort.
