Abstract: A method and device for hierarchically planning executions of operation sequences achieving goal states of technical system workflows and checking them through system simulation or system hardware execution is provided. To hierarchically plan executions of operation sequences achieving goal states of technical system workflows and checking them, it is proposed to implement a goal-state-specifying-process, wherein <1> for a workflow of a technical system a workflow related planning domain is given, <2> a workflow related goal state is specified, <3> a planning task is defined, and <4> by a planning approach <4a> executions of the at least one selected planning operator are checked iteratively in order to find a full plan, and <4b> when in <4a> the full plan is found, the executions of the found full plan achieving the goal state are checked iteratively by a secondary query loop until the goal state is achieved.

Abstract: The disclosed locates obstacles in vehicle roadway regions, without needing to precisely locate the obstacles or landmarks associating sensor measurement data, which is detected by a vehicle sensor system and belongs to sensor measurement objects and by obstacles or landmarks can be represented, with stored landmark data; and ascertaining a sensor detection-specific locating distance between a sensor measurement object based on associated and unassociated sensor measurement data in that pieces of sensor detection-specific information contained in the sensor measurement data relating to the locating distance to be ascertained are put into a relationship with one another, an obstacle in a vehicle roadway region is located is determined on a roadway region constituting an obstacle to the vehicle if the sensor measurement object with unassociated sensor measurement data on the roadway can be correlated at least on the basis of the sensor detection-specific locating distance.

Abstract: In order to be able to automatically eliminate discrepancies, arising in the course of the configuration of a robot-object system environment, between the reality of the robot-object system environment and its digital representation as a CAD model, without manual on-site commissioning of the robot-object system environment with adaptation of the CAD model to the reality, the following is proposed for configuring a robot-object system environment having at least one object and having a robot for object manipulation and object sensing: synchronizing a digital robot twin, which digitally represents the robot-object system environment and controls the robot for the object manipulation on the basis of a control program, for expedient use of the robot in the robot-object system environment during the object manipulation, appropriately and, in this regard, in one or two stages.

Abstract: Provided is a method for determining at least one schedule for a transport from a plurality of transport, having the steps of receiving at least one input data record; wherein the at least one input data record has user data for at least one user and at least one further piece of information; and determining the at least one schedule for the transport from the plurality of transport by optimizing an optimization function by taking into consideration the at least one input data record. Further, also provided is a corresponding unit and a computer program product.
