A Dynamic Programming Based Improvement Heuristic for a Repetitive Routing Problem of Grasp-and-Delivery Robots

We consider a repetitive routing problem of a single grasp-and-delivery robot used on a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line. The robot arranges n identical pins from their current configuration to the next required one by transferring at most one pin at a time. The pins support a PCB from unde...
