The commissioning and programming of complex robotized handling operations requires extensive planning efforts, which do not contribute directly to the added value. Time-consuming imperative coding processes result in inflexible programs that are difficult to adapt to varying requirements. In order to adjust to the shorter innovation cycles for current products, methods to reduce these efforts by automatically adapting to new environments and new objectives are required. A cognitive control system is able to generate essential action-sequences at run time on the foundation of model-based knowledge regarding task, system and process flow (e.g., in a robot cell) and in consideration of current environmental information.

The quality of the functioning evaluation of a given system depends decisively on which model is used to assess it. Available model classes are divided into those using an imperative method and those based on a declarative approach. The differences between both kinds of models rest on the fact that imperative approaches focus on how (to solve) while declarative ones focus on what (to describe/specify). Therefore, declaratively expressed models are independent of architectural and software details, and only depend on the conceptualization (paradigm) adopted, and are thus easier to expand and communicate as long as the basic conceptualization is agreed upon. Consequently, due to the nature of the research carried out underlying the semantics of the natural systems being modelled rather than the algorithms that calculate their changing states while covering both the analysis and synthesis of distributed delivery planning, a declarative modelling framework is implemented.
