Work Planning Using Genetic Algorithm and 3-D Simulation at a Subassembly Line of Shipyard

유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 조선 소조립 로봇용접 공정 작업 계획 및 3-D 시뮬레이션

This study is to find the optimal work plan of robot welding in the subassembly process of shipbuilding and to verify the found solution through 3-D simulation. The optimal work plan was established by evenly distributing the work amount to each stage and finding the shortest work sequence. The shortest work sequence was found by using the genetic algorithm. The result was compared with the practically adopted case and verified through the 3-D simulation.
