A great deal of work has been done to analyze the problem of robot move sequencing and
part scheduling in robotic flowshop cells. We examine the recent developments in this …

In this survey we review the current complexity status of basic cyclic scheduling models. We
start with the formulations of three fundamental cyclic scheduling problems, namely the …

Modern manufacturing processes have thoroughly incorporated automation and repetitive
processing. The use of computer-controlled material handling systems to convey raw …

Robotic cell scheduling has received considerable attention from researchers. Several
existing review papers have presented then-existing studies on robotic cell scheduling and …

A two-robot flow-shop scheduling problem with n identical jobs and m machines is defined
and evaluated for four robot collaboration levels corresponding to different levels of …

Robotic cells consist of a flow-shop with a robot for material handling. A single part is to be
produced cyclically and the objective is to minimize production rate. This document …

Effective sequencing and scheduling of material handling systems (MHSs) have a major
impact on the productivity of a manufacturing system. Since the main function of a MHS is to …

For the creation of intelligent management systems in hospitals, efficient resource
arrangement is essential. Motivated by a real-world scenario in hospitals, we introduce the …

Interval robotic cells with several processing stages (chambers) have been increasingly
used for diverse wafer fabrication processes in semiconductor manufacturing. Processes …

This paper addresses cyclic scheduling of a no-wait robotic cell with multiple robots. In
contrast to many previous studies, we consider r-degree cyclic (r> 1) schedules, in which r …
