Bacterial foraging optimization algorithm in robotic cells with sequence-dependent setup times

In this paper, we propose an improved discrete bacterial foraging algorithm to determine the optimal sequence of parts and robot moves in order to minimize the cycle time for the 2-machine robotic cell scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times. We present a method to convert the solutio...
