A comprehensive review of robotic assembly line balancing problem

Parames Chutima

Summary: This review paper addresses the development and generalization of the research on the robotic assembly line balancing problem (RALBP) over time. The RALBP is classified and divided based on the types of layouts and the 4 M (Man, Machine, Material, and Method) concept. The main contributions of different articles are summarized chronologically in a table, and the research contribution precedence diagram illustrates the sequential order and linkage relationship among studies. Future research directions are pinpointed and discussed based on the findings of the review.

Collaborative robots' assembly system in the manufacturing area, assembly system 4.0

Najat Almasarwah et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on studying task allocation in a single-station collaborative robot assembly system 4.0. Two products with identical demands are run simultaneously in mixed mode to reduce idle time and improve system utilization. The study proposes a novel mathematical model and the shortest processing time (SPT) rule to enhance the production rate by reducing cycle and idle times. The findings reveal that the novel mathematical model outperforms the SPT rule and modified COMSOAL heuristic in minimizing cycle time and maximizing production rate.

Multi-objective migrating bird optimization algorithm for cost-oriented assembly line balancing problem with collaborative robots

Zixiang Li et al.

Summary: This paper tackles the cost-oriented assembly line balancing problem with collaborative robots by developing a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model to minimize cycle time and total collaborative robot purchasing cost, and using the multi-objective migrating bird optimization algorithm to obtain a set of high-quality Pareto solutions. The developed algorithm produces competing performance in comparison with other existing multi-objective optimization algorithms.
