In this paper we consider a class of bin selection and packing problems (BPP) in which
potential bins are of various types, have two resource constraints, and the resource …

A hybrid genetic approach is proposed for the cutting operation in the clothing industry.
Garment cutting is a typical strip-packing problem, which is considered to be NP-complete …

Many companies intend to utilize the robotic systems to improve the performance of their
manufacturing systems. Since the robotic systems are complex, it is required to determine …

In the last decades, the Robot Selection Problem (RSP) has been widely investigated, and
the importance of properly structuring the decision problem has been stated. Crucial aspect …

In this paper, we introduce Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimal Robot Selection and Work
station Assignment (RS/WA) problem for a CIM system. In particular, the RS/WA problem can …

A hybrid genetic approach is proposed for the two-dimensional strip packing problems. With
a combination of genetic algorithm and a novel heuristic allocation method, the packing …

We present a manipulator placement algorithm for minimizing the length of the manipulator
motion performing a visit-point task such as spot welding. Given a set of points for the tool of …

The focus of this study is on the problem of manipulator system selection for a multiple-goal
task by evaluating task completion time and cost with computational time constraints. An …

In this paper, a study of robot-based computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) automation is
presented. In the study, we investigated issues regarding robotic workspace utilization …
