Abstract:According to the requirements of the coming intelligent manufacturing era, the strategic significance of developing intelligent unmanned workshop was explained. The concepts of workshop agent and workshop mirror image were introduced, and the intellectualization and mirror image construction mode of intelligent unmanned workshop were discussed with robot as the main body, production process as the object and workshop panorama as the environment. The intelligent unmanned workshop could be divided into production operation system, edge computing system and remote monitoring system, from which the operation logic of intelligent unmanned workshop had been showed. The research results would help to promote the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry, and to seize the strategic opportunity of intelligent manufacturing.
