Improved Dingo Optimization Algorithm for Human-robot Collaborative U-shaped Disassembly Line Balancing Problem

There is increasing attention on remanufacturing, with the primary focus in the industry on recovering reusable products to generate profit. In the process of optimizing remanufacturing, addressing the balance issue in the operation of the disassembly line is crucial. Therefore, this study proposes the use of an improved Dingo Optimization Algorithm (IDOA) and designs a mathematical model for human-robot collaboration to explore how to achieve higher profits under these conditions. Finally, the improved IDOA is experimentally compared with the commercial optimization solver CPLEX and another intelligent optimization method—the Battle Royale Optimization (BRO). The results demonstrate that this method offers high quality and efficiency.
