There is a need to automate several industrial tasks which may require a number of humans and robots to perform it. Some can be done only using robots. Say there is a task X. My output looks like: Task X can be done if around 4 robots are assigned to it or 1 human and 1 robot are assigned to it. My input will describe the task based on which an algorithm will compute the desired output.
So basically could you share some research work where resource requirement for industrial tasks are modeled mathematically or even empirically? Or could you point to some existing algorithms in the domain of industrial engineering or otherwise where researchers have tackled the problem of identifying how much resources need to be thrown on a task to finish it successfully?
