In this paper we address the optimal planning of autonomous teams for general purpose tasks including a wide spectrum of situations: from project management of human teams to the coordination of an automated assembly lines, focusing in the…

We propose a stronger formulation of the precedence constraints and the station limits for the simple assembly line balancing problem. The linear relaxation of the improved integer program theoretically dominates all previous formulations…

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan on batch processing identical machines, subject to compatibility constraints, where two jobs are compatible if they can be processed simultaneously in a same batch. These constraints are…

This article presents applied research on line balancing within the modern garment industry, focusing on the significant impact of intelligent hanger systems and hanger lines on the stitching process, by Lean Methodology for garment…

Robotic assembly planning enables architects to explicitly account for the assembly process during the design phase, and enables efficient building methods that profit from the robots' different capabilities. Previous work has addressed…

Efficient and robust task planning for a human-robot collaboration (HRC) system remains challenging. The human-aware task planner needs to assign jobs to both robots and human workers so that they can work collaboratively to achieve better…

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer quadratically constrained program. To…

This research article explores the optimization of aluminium extrusion processes through advanced line balancing techniques, focusing on maximizing marginal profit by increasing melting and casting outputs. By employing mixed integer linear…

In this work, we present WLB-LLM, a workLoad-balanced 4D parallelism for large language model training. We first thoroughly analyze the workload imbalance issue in LLM training and identify two primary sources of imbalance at the pipeline…

Significant progress in robotics reveals new opportunities to advance manufacturing. Next-generation industrial automation will require both integration of distinct robotic technologies and their application to challenging industrial…

Assistive agents for Blind and Visually Impaired (BVI) users require accessibility alignment as a first-class design objective. Despite rapid progress in agentic AI, most systems are designed and evaluated under assumptions of sighted…

We propose domain-independent dynamic programming (DIDP) and constraint programming (CP) models to exactly solve type-1 and type-2 assembly line balancing problem with sequence-dependent setup times (SUALBP). The goal is to assign tasks to…

This paper introduces a new generic problem to the literature of Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem. In this problem, multiple workers are assigned to a shared vehicle based on their qualifications and customer demands, and then the…

Machine learning (ML) models are increasingly trained in clusters with non-dedicated workers possessing heterogeneous resources. In such scenarios, model training efficiency can be negatively affected by stragglers -- workers that run much…

As labor shortage is rising at an alarming rate, it is imperative to enable all people to work, particularly people with disabilities and elderly people. Robots are often used as universal tool to assist people with disabilities. However,…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile networks is regarded as one of the most important scenarios for 6G. In 6G, a major objective is to realize the efficient transmission of task-relevant data. Then a key problem…

Industrial manufacturing is currently amidst it's fourth great revolution, pushing towards the digital transformation of production processes. One key element of this transformation is the formalization and digitization of processes,…

Now a day's Heterogeneous wireless network is a promising field of research interest. Various challenges exist in this hybrid combination like load balancing, resource management and so on. In this paper we introduce a reliable load…

Future wireless standards such as 5G envision dense wireless networks with large number of simultaneously connected devices. In this context, interference management becomes critical in achieving high spectral efficiency. Orthogonal…

We solve large-scale mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs) via distributed asynchronous saddle point computation. This is motivated by the MILPs being able to model problems in multi-agent autonomy, e.g., task assignment problems and…
