In today's manufacturing system, disturbances such as tool wear, machine failures, and robotic system malfunctions significantly impact productivity and product costs. These disturbances generally lead to disruptions in the operation of production systems, particularly conventional production systems. These unplanned disturbances in production systems are commonly linked to downtime and inability to recover. These can be classified based on internal and external disturbances. Examples of internal disturbances are control system, equipment, material handling, and labor; while external disturbances concern the order process, inventories and suppliers [1,2]. Due to these disturbances, manufacturing companies have come up with the idea of ​​adapting production systems in an "autonomous" way. The production system should have the ability to respond quickly to disturbances and recover autonomously. This would keep the production system's operations running and prevent it from shutting down completely. Autonomy, in addition to reconfiguration, is the criterion for adapting to disturbances in an intelligent and effective way [1,2]. This new trend of applying autonomous behavior in production system development is called Autonomous Manufacturing System (AMS) [2]. This review paper focuses on autonomous concepts for manufacturing processes. After this introduction, the document is structured as follows: section 2 deals with an overview of the principles of autonomy, section 3 presents the state of the art on the levels of a production and assembly system related to the Autonomous Production System, section 4 summarizes Briefly the comparison between the flexible manufacturing system (FMS), reconfigurable... half of the paper... is carried out by an integrated camera and an embedded microcontroller mounted directly on the gripper. The gripper knows the entire assembly task and is therefore completely independent of any central and external control [1].4. ConclusionThe evolutions of manufacturing concepts (i.e. FMS, RMS and AMS) over the last twenty years are mainly driven by the changing market demands and requirements corresponding to that particular manufacturing system. Although complexity increases, manufacturing companies must quickly adapt to these changes to maintain their level of competitiveness [3]. The introduction of AMS offers an important advantage in reducing the complexity of both the physical structure and the information system. However, each concept is designed based on market trends and requirements. The differences between them can be summarized in Table 1 below.
