Abstract EN
In this paper an analysis of productivity will be carried out from the resolution of the problem of trajectory planning of industrial robots.
The analysis entails economic considerations, thus overcoming some limitations of the existing literature.
Two methodologies based on optimization-simulation procedures are compared to calculate the time needed to perform an industrial robot task.
The simulation methodology relies on the use of robotics and automation software called GRASP.
The optimization methodology developed in this work is based on the kinematics and the dynamics of industrial robots.
It allows us to pose a multiobjective optimization problem to assess the trade-offs between the economic variables by means of the Pareto fronts.
The comparison is carried out for different examples and from a multidisciplinary point of view, thus, to determine the impact of using each method.
Results have shown the opportunity costs of non using the methodology with optimized time trajectories.
Furthermore, it allows companies to stay competitive because of the quick adaptation to rapidly changing markets.
