We consider the scheduling problem of cyclic production in a bufferless dual-gripper robot cell processing a family of … identical parts. The objective is to find an optimal sequence of robot moves so as to maximize the long-run average throughput … rate of the cell. While there has been a considerable amount of research dealing with single-gripper robot cells, there are …

A robotic cell - manufacturing system widely used in industry - contains two or more robot-served machines … determine the robot move sequence and the sequence in which parts are to be processed so as to maximize the long-run average … problem complexity and solvability. Focusing on a particular class of robot move sequences, we identify all potentially …

In this paper, we deal with the problem of sequencing parts and robot moves in a robotic cell where the robot is used … types, the problem of scheduling parts for a specific sequence of robot moves in a two machine cell is formulated as a …
