The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation $248,043 on September 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a self-organizing manufacturing systems integration framework for personalized and dynamic production. The award funds research into autonomous manufacturing agents capable of collectively performing dynamic scheduling, resource allocation, and process control under rapidly changing production conditions. The framework integrates three complementary mechanisms: task constraints to prune infeasible actions and reduce learning complexity, distributed decision-making rather than centralized control, and social-organizational learning to enable manufacturing systems to continuously adapt to changing conditions while maintaining efficiency, quality, and reliability. Work is performed in Fullerton, California, through August 31, 2029. The research outcomes are expected to strengthen domestic manufacturing competitiveness and support workforce development through engagement of graduate and undergraduate students. Educational materials, simulation tools, and research findings will be disseminated to support learning and innovation in intelligent manufacturing.
