An Effective Mathematical Programming Model for Production of AutomaticRobot Path Planning

Objective:Path planning for production robots has been investigated. The sequence of the orders to be processed in a certain planning horizon has beenplanned 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 ofmachines 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 providecollision-free paths. Conclusion:The proposed mathematical formulation is implemented to show the efficiency and effectiveness
