Abstract :
Integrated design process for automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems is proposed in this paper. There are two problems to design AGV systems: transporter routings and flow-path network. These two should be solved at the same time, because one problem depends on the other. This issue is solved with cooperative co-evolution in this paper. Both problems are represented as different species and genetic algorithm is applied to them. AGV systems are evaluated through simulations.
