Allocating Robots/Cobots to Production Systems for Productivity and Ergonomics Optimization

Collaboration between humans and robots has great promise in manufacturing systems. The utilization of cobots in a manufacturing system can improve both productivity and ergonomics. In this paper, we study the problem of how to allocate limited cobot/robots to manufacturing systems with multiple wor...
