This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider the problem of scheduling operations in bufferless robotic cells that produce identical parts. Maximizing the long-term average throughput of parts is an important problem in both theory and practice. We define an appropriate state space required to analyze this problem and show that cyclic schedules which repeat a fixed sequence of robot moves indefinitely are the only ones that need to be considered. For the different classes of robotic cells studied in the literature, we discuss the current state of knowledge with respect to cyclic schedules. Finally, we discuss the importance of two fundamental open problems concerning optimal cyclic schedules, special cases for which these problems have been solved,and attempts to solve the general case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 only a few papers devoted to scheduling in dual-gripper robotic cells. From the practical point of view, the use of a dual gripper offers the attractive prospect of an increase in the cell productivity. At the same time, the increase in the combinatorial possibilities associated with a dual-gripper robot severely complicates its theoretical analysis. The purpose of this paper is to extend the existing conceptual framework to the dual-gripper situation, and to provide some insight into the problem. We provide a notational and modelling framework for cyclic production in a dual-gripper robotic cell. Focusing on the so-called active cycles, we discuss the issues of feasibility and explore the combinatorial aspects of the problem. The main attention is on 1-unit cycles, i.e., those that restore the cell to the same initial state after the production of each unit. For an m-machine robotic cell served by a dual-gripper robot, we describe a complete family of 1-unit cycles, and derive an analytical formula to estimate their total number for a given m. In the case when the gripper switching time is sufficiently small, we identify an optimal 1-unit cycle. This special case is of particular interest as it reflects the most frequently encountered situation in real-life robotic systems. Finally, we establish the connection between a dual-gripper cell and a single-gripper cell with machine output buffers of one-unit capacity and compare the cell productivity for these two models.

Download or read book Intelligent Scheduling of Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells written by Khalid Karam Abd and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-08 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the design of Robotic Flexible Assembly Cell (RFAC) with multi-robots. Its main contribution consists of a new effective strategy for scheduling RFAC in a multi-product assembly environment, in which dynamic status and multi-objective optimization problems occur. The developed strategy, which is based on a combination of advanced solution approaches such as simulation, fuzzy logic, system modeling and the Taguchi optimization method, fills an important knowledge gap in the current literature and paves the way for future research towards the goal of employing flexible assembly systems as effectively as possible despite the complexity of their scheduling.

Download or read book Modelling and Performance Analysis of Cyclic Systems written by Wojciech Bożejko and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striking a balance between state-of-the-art research and practical applications, this book provides a forum for contributions that cover the main research challenges in the cyclic modeling, development, and validation of concurrently acting distributed production systems: systems that employ multi-assortment production in large quantities, are characterized by gradual changes in their product mix, and exclusively manufacture products in a cyclic manner. Similar issues also arise in computer systems, e.g., embedded systems. Cyclic optimization problems that occur in them are unique and under-researched, but are attracting new interest primarily due to their great practical importance and the difficulty involved in obtaining efficient algorithms for solving specific cases with real constraints arising from manufacturing practice. Addressing these and other topics, the book will be of great interest to researchers in computer science, operations management, and production control, as well as practicing managers and engineers.

Book excerpt: The Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI), a yearly international conference series organized by the Mexican Society for Artificial Intel- gence (SMIA), is a major international AI forum and the main event in the academic life of the country’s growing AI community. In 2008 Mexico celebrates the 50th an- versary of development of computer science in the country: in 1958 the first computer was installed at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Nowadays, computer science is the country’s fastest growing research area. The proceedings of the previous MICAI events were published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series, vol. 1793, 2313, 2972, 3789, 4293, and 4827. Since its foundation in 2000, the conference has been growing in popularity, and improving in quality. This volume contains the papers presented at the oral session of the 7th Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2008, held October 27–31, 2008, in Atizapán de Zaragoza, Mexico.

Download or read book Declarative Models of Concurrent Cyclic Processes written by Grzegorz Bocewicz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a new declarative approach dedicated to the analysis of behaviors and synthesis of structures of Systems of Cyclic Concurrent Multimodal Processes (SCCMP). These kinds of problems are some of the most difficult cyclic scheduling problems - both from the computational side and the complexity of the models used. SCCMP is understood as a set of processes (in particular, multimodal processes) that execute operations cyclically on a set of jointly used (shared) resources (processors, machines, means of transport, etc.). They model the functioning of numerous systems encountered in practical settings and which are characterized by cyclic (periodic) behavior. Typical examples are the passenger railway system, the manufacturing system, the transportation system, and etc. Considered problems, i.e., the behavior analysis problem, the structure prototyping problem, and the problem of mutual reachability of various SCCMP behaviors, are strongly NP-hard. This feature implies that computationally-efficient algorithms need to be sought. They would enable the evaluation of selected aspects of the considered system's functions, such as service costs, transport time, etc., in real-time mode. In that context, the presented monograph fills the gap in the field of SCCMP modeling. Its aim is to present declarative models of systems of cyclic multimodal processes. Such models allow the development of computationally-efficient methods of analysis of the behavior and synthesis of the structure of SCCMP. The particular issues raised in this study concern: · Modeling of SCCMP with regular/fractal structures, i.e., structures composed of repeating fragments. · Determining the conditions of mutual reachability of various SCCMP behaviors. · Modeling of SCCMP described by fuzzy variables. The monograph is addressed to researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in operations management, operations research, computer science, and industrial engineering. Declarative models of concurrent cyclic processes will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on cyclic scheduling problems in computer science, manufacturing, communication, and transportation services, as well as in many other areas.
