Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming for Energy-Efficient Container Handling
Formulation and Customized Genetic Algorithm
This work tackles the problem of controlling operations at an automated container terminal. In the context of large supply chains, there is a growing trend for increasing productivity and economic efficiency. New optimization models and algorithms are provided for scheduling and

In this paper, we study the collision-free routing of a multi-robot system to complete given tasks in the shortest time. In a robotic assembly unit, several stations work serially and in parallel. In a station, multiple robots share the same workspace and face the challenge of mi
