Abstract

With the rapid development of technologies, many production systems and modes has been advanced with respect to manufacturing, management and information fields. The paper deals with the problem of the implementation of an autonomous industrial mobile robot in real-world industrial applications in which all these fields are considered, namely mobile robot technology, planning and scheduling and communication. A methodology for implementation consisting of: a mobile robot system design (Little Helper prototype), an appropriate industrial application (multiple-part feeding), an implementation concept for the industrial application (the Bartender Concept), a mathematical model and a genetic algorithm-based heuristic is proposed. Furthermore, in order for the mobile robot to work properly in a flexible (cloud-based) manufacturing environment, the communications and exchange of data between the mobile robot with other manufacturing systems and shop-floor operators are addressed in the methodology. The proposed methodology provides insight into how mobile robot technology and abilities contribute to cloud manufacturing systems. A real-world demonstration at an impeller production line in a factory and computational experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
