- Abstract
Industry 4.0 has transformed manufacturing with the integration of cutting-edge technology, posing crucial issues in the efficient task assignment to multi-tasking robots within smart factories. The paper outlines a unique method of decentralizing auctions to handle basic tasks. It also introduces an improved variant of the improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) algorithm to manage complicated tasks that require multi-robot collaboration. The main contributions we make are: the design of an auction decentralization algorithm (AOCTA) which allows for an efficient and flexible task distribution in dynamic contexts, the optimization of coalition formation in complex jobs by using IBPSO and improves the efficiency of energy and decreases the cost of computation as well as thorough simulations that show that our proposed method significantly surpasses conventional methods for efficiency, task completion rates in terms of energy usage, task completion rate, and scaling of the system. This research contributes to the development of smart manufacturing through providing an effective solution that aligns with the sustainability objectives and addresses operational efficiency as well as environmental impacts. Addressing the challenges posed by dynamic task allocation in distributed multi-robot systems, these advanced technologies provide a comprehensive solution, facilitating the evolution of innovative manufacturing systems.
