Intelligent Human + Robot Work Cell Simulation and Orchestration

This student team will work to build an interactive demo (simulation, visualization/dashboard, physical robots) showcasing workflows where humans and robots work dynamically together with a distributed intelligence engine (Grokit's Paranet) optimizing resources/skills and reassigning robots in rea-time without recoding. The Problem Statement this student team will work to address is to orchestrate humans and robots in a dynamic workcell to complete tasks based on their skills and abilities matching, and seamlessly reassign resources between workflows without additional technical steps. The objectives this student team will work to achieve include, in real-time, showcase an intelligence engine instructing robots and humans to seamlessly change their actions based on the user selected workflow in real time, while in close collaboration with a human operator within the process - simulated and digital/physical. Technical Criteria this student team will take into consideration include - Functionality: o Assessm
