Abstract: With significant improvement in technologies, robotics systems have appeared in homes as vacuum robots, and as transporters of goods and equipment in the industries, including hospitals and mortuaries. In Singapore (amongst others), they have attracted the attention of the food and beverage (F&B) industry, in part due to the lack of human resources here. To address the latter, a work has been established to develop the concept of robotics waiter system to serve at dining tables. It is the integration of autonomous omnidirectional platforms, a commercial indoor Radio Frequency (RF) network of sensors and transmitters and off the shelf coaster paging system commonly used in Singapore eateries. The robotics waiter system will provide services that are mundane and repetitive. The mobile platforms are designed primarily to be productive and efficient; in the current design, the torso can convey many serving trays and possibly used for cutlery collection. However unlike humanoids, they are n

Abstract: In this paper, we present and solve a scheduling problem for a high-density robotic workcell under various working conditions. The genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize tasks for scheduling of the multi-robot system. A new operation method for generating subsequent generations of GA, controlled mutation is introduced depending on the value of the objective function in order to help the algorithm get out of the local minimum. Several simulation graphs verify efficiency of the proposed algorithm
