Abstract
Methods for saving energy and reducing cycle time by using optimal ordering of the industrial robotic path. A method includes receiving inputs including a complex operation, generating a plurality of task groups of the complex operation, calculating a group edge rating for each of a plurality of robotic movement edges between each of the plurality of task groups, calculating a candidate rating for each of a plurality of candidate paths, wherein the candidate rating comprises a summation of the group edge ratings for a candidate path, determining an optimal path comprising the candidate path with an optimal rating, wherein the optimal rating is determined by the lowest candidate rating, and returning the optimal path.
