# Method for optimizing a work cycle in a robot system

## Abstract

A method for a robot system with at least two manipulators with a common work area, wherein the layout of the robot system is defined and the common work area between the at least two manipulators is divided to thereby obtain a work area division. The method is characterized in that at least one of the previous steps is repeated to thereby obtain a plurality of different combinations of layouts and work area divisions. For each of the combinations, a cycle time for at least one work cycle is calculated and the best cycle time is chosen to optimize the work cycle of the robot system.
