Gantry Work Cell Scheduling through Reinforcement Learning with Knowledge-guided Reward Setting

In this paper, a manufacturing work cell utilizing gantries to move between machines for loading and unloading materials/parts is considered. The production performance of the gantry work cell highly depends on the gantry movements in real operation. This paper formulates the gantry scheduling probl...
