Intelligent Modeling of Scheduling Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells Using Fuzzy Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with scheduling robotic flexible assembly cells (RFACs) using fuzzy logic (FL) technique. A new scheduling rule is developed and evaluated called fuzzy sequencing rule (FSR). A simulation program is used to examine the performance of the existing scheduling rules and the proposed rule with respect to multiple performance measures. Four performance measures considered simultaneously are: maximum of tardiness, mean tardiness, percentage of tardy products, and percentage of improvement. A case study is presented to prove the efficiency of the proposed rule (FSR). The simulation results indicate that FSR gives superior performance compared with existing scheduling rules. Key-Words: Assembly cells, Fuzzy Sequencing Rules, Robotics

Development of a Fuzzy-simulation Model of Scheduling Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells
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...
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 کاملNurse rostering using fuzzy logic: A case study
In this paper, we used the fuzzy set theory for modeling flexible constraints and uncertain data in nurse scheduling problems and proposed a fuzzy linear model for nurse rostering problems. The developed model can produce rosters that satisfy hospital objectives, ward requirements and staff preferences by satisfying their requests as much as possible. Fuzzy sets are used for modeling demands of...

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...
