Scheduling of Autonomous Robots in the Flexible Manufacturing System
Abstract: Fast adaptability and high flexibility have made use of autonomous robots (ARs) a popular choice for different material transfer activities in the flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). The ARs are observed to be highly capable and flexible for integration with computer-controlled machine tools, producing different types of jobs in the FMS. The integrated scheduling of production operations on the machine tools and material transfer operations of ARs in the FMS can …
