In this cooperation project between the Chair of Mobile Machinery (Mobima) and the Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB), a methodology for transferring the concepts of organic computing (OC) to a mobile machine is to be developed. The aim is to minimise fuel consumption through the modular development and implementation of an observer-controller architecture for the realisation of self-organising, reliable, adaptive and robust overall machine management. The new control approach will be evaluated on a practical vehicle using a test vehicle from ACGO Fendt.
