The design of the work area of a robotic cell is currently an iterative process of trial and improvement, where, in the best cases, the user places the workstations and robotic manipulators in a 3D virtual environment to then semi-automatically verify variables such as the robot’s reach, cycle time, geometric interferences, and collisions. This article suggests using an evolutionary computation algorithm (genetic algorithm) as a tool to solve this optimization problem. Using information about the work areas and the robot’s reach, the algorithm generates an equipment configuration that minimizes the cell area without interference between the stations and, therefore, reduces the distances the robotic manipulator must travel. The objective is to obtain an optimized layout of the workstations and to validate this optimization by comparing the transfer times between stations with the actual times of an existing screwdriving cell. As a result, the transfer time was reduced by 9%. It is concluded that the algorithm can optimize the layout of a robotic cell, which can lead to significant improvements in efficiency, quality, and flexibility.
