abstract = "This paper describes a method to determine the path of a robot that travels around between machine tools in a production line FA factory. This decision is made by the genetic algorithm with Lisp language programming. In the algorithm, the building block method to decide fitness is adopted. The method is applied to a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that has four machine tools and a robot.",
