*ABSTRACT*
In this talk, I will discuss novel operations problems that I have encountered during my interaction with a Dallas-based manufacturer of robotic cells for the semiconductor industry. The throughput of a cell (i.e., the number of finished parts produced per unit time) critically depends on the sequence of actions of the robot(s). Over the past several years, I have developed theories and concepts to devise efficient optimization algorithms for such sequencing problems for a variety of robotic cells. These algorithms, which are typically programmed in the control mechanism of the cell, have significantly improved productivity in practical implementations.
