An Effective Mathematical Programming Model for Production of Automatic Robot Path Planning
Abstract
Objective:
Path planning for production robots has been investigated. The sequence of the orders to be processed in a certain planning horizon has been planned for the production of system.
Methods:
Production of automatic robots are employed to carry parts and products among all production stations and machining centers. The combination of machines in stations and autonomous robot evolves a production network.
Results:
The problem is to assign orders to robots so that paths are obtained to minimize total waiting times of production system and meanwhile provide collision-free paths.
Conclusion:
The proposed mathematical formulation is implemented to show the efficiency and effectiveness.
Keywords: Autonomous robots, Mathematical programming, Path planning, AGVs, AMS, Mathematical formulation.
