Abstract

As manufacturing evolves from mass production to customization and smartness, robotic systems in manufacturing rise to new challenges—operating in increasingly dynamic, complex, and human-centered settings. This dissertation introduces a multi-source information fusion framework for robot motion planning, seamlessly combining exogenous inputs with endogenous states. Focused on three representative scenarios—decentralized multi-robot logistics, adaptive multi-task planning, and human-robot collaboration—the proposed approaches significantly enhance the robustness, adaptability, and safety of robot motion planning by providing scenario-aware solutions for smart manufacturing.
