Development of a Fuzzy-simulation Model of Scheduling Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the complexity of scheduling flexible manufacturing systems, the generation of production schedules requires an intelligent technique. Many artificial intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and neural networks have been successfully applied to the scheduling of advanced manufacturing systems. One such system is Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells (RFACs). Few studies have addressed the problem of scheduling RFACs. The major limitation is that these studies are limited to the assembly of only one product type. The objective of this study is to propose a new intelligent model of scheduling RFACs in a multi-product assembly environment, using fuzzy logic.

متن کاملApplication of fuzzy logic to multi-objective scheduling problems in robotic flexible assembly cells
This paper is aimed at developing a methodology to solve a multi-objective problem in robotic flexible assembly cells. The proposed methodology is based on three main steps: (1) scheduling of the RFACs using different common rules, (2) normalisation of the scheduling outcomes, and (3) selection of the optimal scheduling rules, using a fuzzy inference system. In this paper, four rules, namely sh...
متن کاملCONTROL OF FLEXIBLE JOINT ROBOT MANIPULATORS BY COMPENSATING FLEXIBILITY
A flexible-joint robot manipulator is a complex system because it is nonlinear, multivariable, highly coupled along with joint flexibility and uncertainty. To overcome flexibility, several methods have been proposed based on flexible model. This paper presents a novel method for controlling flexible-joint robot manipulators. A novel control law is presented by compensating flexibility to form a...
