partsautonomi
Partsautonomi is a term used in discussions of modular system design to describe the autonomy granted to individual parts or components within a larger system. The term is a neologism formed from parts and autonomy, and is sometimes treated as a calque or loan from other languages that express a similar idea. In practice, partsautonomi denotes the degree to which components can execute tasks, adapt behavior, and cooperate without centralized micromanagement, subject to safety constraints and predefined interfaces.
Degrees of autonomy range from components that operate under direct human instruction to fully autonomous modules
Applications include modular robotics and manufacturing cells, autonomous software microservices, smart grids, and Internet of Things
Partsautonomi is closely related to distributed autonomy, modular design, swarm robotics, and self-management in cyber-physical systems.
