Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop a system named DELUGA which automatically decides by genetic algorithm (GA) where to place a lot of assembled parts, jigs and robot hands in the workstation when designing a cell type assembly machine with a dual arms robot. In DELUGA, since the left and right robot arms simultaneously perform assembly work, adopt the concept of waiting time to prevent interference between the left and right arms. The cycle time from assembly to completion is used as fitness, GA operation is performed, and better arrangement is decided.
