Abstract
Energy-efficient human–robot collaboration poses significant challenges to the sustainable operation of production systems. Therefore, our work proposes novel robotic edge intelligence to address the issue. First, robotic edge intelligence is proposed to fully utilize the embedded computing capabilities of edge robots, and the state transition diagrams are developed for jobs, humans, and robots, respectively. Second, a multi-objective model is designed for the energy-efficient human–robot scheduling problem to evaluate the production performance and energy efficiency as a whole. Third, a heuristic algorithm is developed to search for the optimal solutions based on an artificial plant community, which is lightweight enough to be run on edge robots. Finally, a benchmark data set is developed, and a series of benchmark experiments are implemented to test the proposed system. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively enhance energy efficiency and production performance with satisfying solution performance.
