✦ Synopsis
This paper introduces optimisation modules of a process planning system called OPPS-PRI (Optimised Process Planning System for PRIsmatic parts) which has been developed together with its interfaces to provide a complete CAD/CAM integration. Primary objective of this work is to develop an intelligent and integrated CAD/CAM system for shop-¯oor use that can be used by an average operator and to produce globally optimised results (process plans and part programs). For this purpose, in this work, an attempt has been made to include the impact and potential of arti®cial intelligence (AI) in process planning applications and to optimise all events in an integrated CAD/CAM environment. GAs were extensively used in the development of process planning facilities and in the optimisation issues, in order to include pro®ts of AI techniques into the system.

This paper presents the planning of a near-optimum path and location of a workpiece by genetic algorithms. The purpose of this planning is to minimize the processing time required for a robot to complete its work on a workpiece. The location of the workpiece can be anywhere by translating it along a
Two procedures are suggested to select a representative subset from a large data set. The first is based on the use of the estimate of the multivariate probability density distribution by means of the potential functions technique. The first object selected for the subset is that for which the proba
