Abstract [en]

An algorithm is often developed with sequential operation in mind. The Robot path planning algorithm (based on the Informed RRT star algorithm) which executes tasks sequentially has a high processing time when executed in a single computer on a single core of the computer due to the inadequacy of the processing resources. Multi-coreprocessor architecture in a computer is leveraged to reduce the processing and computational time of the algorithm, by designing the algorithm to run on multiple cores of a single computer or multiple computers if several computers are used. Parallel execution of the parts of the program significantly reduces the processing and computing time of the overall program. The algorithm also checks for collision by simulating a Robot in a Virtual environment in the software ABB Robotstudio. Multiple, parallel robotstudio simulations are carried out that is coupled with the designed parallel program (algorithm). The performance of the parallel path generation algorithm over the sequentially operating algorithm is statistically analysed w.r.t the processing time.
