The coordination of cyclic multi-robot systems is a critical issue to avoid collisions but also to
obtain the shortest cycle-time. This paper presents a novel methodology for trajectory and …

Real-word large-scale optimisation problems often result in local optima due to their large
search space and complex objective function. Hence, traditional evolutionary algorithms …

The Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is widely used for real-world global optimisation
problems in many different domains. To improve DE's performance on large-scale …

This paper investigates trajectory generation for multi-robot systems that handle compliant
parts in order to minimise deformations during handling, which is important to reduce the risk …

The deformation of compliant parts during material handling is a critical issue that can
significantly affect the productivity and the parts' dimensional quality. There are multiple …

This paper presents the Constructive Cooperative Coevolutionary (C^ 3 C 3) algorithm,
applied to continuous large-scale global optimisation problems. The novelty of C^ 3 C 3 is …

Increased environmental awareness is driving the manufacturing industry towards novel
ways of energy reduction to become sustainable yet stay competitive. Climate and …

This article investigates multi-objective optimization of the robot trajectories and position-
based operation-coordination of complex multi-robot systems, such as press lines, to …

Multi-machine coordination is a crucial issue to obtain high working rate and trajectories of
collision avoidance in the dynamic compact environment for high-speed press line. This …

Increased production rate and robot motion smoothness in a sheet metal press line are
essential. Smooth robot motions avoid unplanned production interruptions and excessive …
