Assembly-line balancing is a significant issue in production systems. Employing industrial
robots as the main production resource was a milestone in developing assembly lines, and …

Assembly line balancing (ALB) deals with how tasks are assigned in an assembly line to
reach the required production rate and to optimize goals. Tasks in assembly line are …

The construction industry is facing serious challenges, such as labor shortage and safety
hazards. Construction robots can perform dangerous and repetitive tasks instead of workers …

In this research, a hybrid constrained permutation algorithm and genetic algorithm approach
is proposed to solve the process planning problem and to facilitate the optimisation process …

Intelligent robots are distinguished from ordinary robots in terms of their sensory elements,
action elements, and thinking elements. They have been widely used in fields such as …

Aiming at the problem of complex path planning in the processing of curved surface
workpieces of body-in-white, a hybrid path planning method based on a memetic algorithm …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to address the issue that the traditional V-shaped ball
valve profile shape is limiting the flow control characteristics in a series structure and to …

In recent years, vision-based gesture adaptation has attracted great attention from many
experts in the field of human-robot interaction, and many methods have been proposed and …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods have extensive capabilities to improve the
mechanical properties of metals. Growing applications of SPD techniques in various …

This study focusses on a two objective type-2 simple assembly line balancing problem. Its
primary objective is minimizing the cycle time, or equivalently, maximizing the production …
