In this review paper, recent developments in robotic problems are cited. A robotic
manufacturing system includes at least a robot-as a material handling device-, a co-worker …

The application of group technology concepts to the design and operation of manufacturing
cells has had a major impact on improving the performance of multiproduct, moderate …

We address a robotic flow shop scheduling problem where two part types are processed on
each given set of dedicated machines. A single robot moving on a fixed rail transports one …

This work proposes an integrated formulation for the joint production and transportation
scheduling problem in flexible manufacturing environments. In this type of systems, parts …

A dual-gripper robotic cell consists of multiple processing machines and one material
handling robot, which can perform an unloading or a loading task one at a time but can hold …

Recently, semiconductor manufacturing fabs tend to reduce the wafer lot size, down to just a
few. Consequently, the wafer recipe or wafer flow pattern changes frequently. For such …

This paper investigates a real-time dynamic job-shop scheduling problem in a robotic cell, in
which multiple jobs enter into the cell with unexpected arriving rates. Different from classical …

New mixed-integer programming models are proposed for deterministic batch or cyclic
scheduling in flow shops with parallel machines and finite in-process buffers. Models for …

This paper deals with the robust optimization for the cyclic hoist scheduling problem with
processing time window constraints. The robustness of a cyclic hoist schedule is defined as …

Flexible robotic cells are pivotal in flexible and customized manufacturing. An effective
scheduling policy for such cells can significantly reduce the makespan and improve the …
