Dynamic programming, branch-and-bound, and constraint programming are the standard solution principles for nding optimal solutions to machine scheduling problems. We propose a new ...
This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
