Abstract:
A method of applying knowledge from a human operator to a mobile slave expert machine via a master expert machine, the knowledge serving for computing an optimal control law being required for performing professionally preferably repetitive tasks consisting of a sequence of elementary moves to be performed by the slave expert machine instead of a human operator, the method comprising the following main sequence of steps:(a) teaching of the master expert machine to perform the required professional task so as to create within the master expert machine a sharable data base for computing a control law for the task,(b) computing said control law for performing the task and dividing the task into subtasks, associated with elementary moves,(c) adapting of said sharable data base to said computed control law and to the slave expert machine,(d) transferring said adapted sharable data base and said control law from the master expert machine to the slave expert machine, whereby the slave expert machine can perform the task autonomously and independent of any form of connection to the master expert machine subsequent to said transfer, and,providing the slave expert machine with a programmed data associated with a particular task to be performed.
