This paper deals with facility layout analysis and path planning of a robot palletizing production line using a 4-DOF partial closed-loop palletizing robot and two carton conveyors. The layout of the production line is arranged by the reachable workspace of the robot with a goal to achieve the minimum footprint. A straight-line and arc based motion planning approach is proposed under the constraints of joint velocity and acceleration to achieve higher productivity and easier implementation. An example is given to demonstrate the effective of this method.
