| Summary: | Disassembly Planning (DP) refers to an optimization method to find the most cost-effective disassembly sequence for products based on the disassembly properties of parts. In traditional sequential disassembly planning, only a single part or component is removed. To effectively improve the product disassembly efficiency, this study explores the problem of Asynchronous Parallel Disassembly Planning (aPDP) with multiple manipulators. In the aPDP situation where multiple manipulators are used, the optimization method of arranging the manipulators needs to be considered in addition to the limitation of the priority order of parts. This study proposes an improved particle swarm optimization to discuss the aPDP combination optimization problem. The minimum Make Span is the objective, and the solution status and convergence speed are compared with the results of other particle swarm optimization methods, a Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization. The results show that the proposed improved version of the particle swarm optimization algorithm has better solution quality and execution time.
