Abstract (EN): Nowadays,it is far more common to see mobile robotics working in the industrial sphere due to the mandatory need to achieve a new level of productivity and increase profits by reducing production costs. Management scheduling and task scheduling are crucial for companies that incessantly seek to improve their processes, increase their efficiency, reduce their production time and capitalize on their infrastructure by increasing and improving production. However, when faced with the constant decrease in production cycles, management algorithms can no longer solely focus on the mere management of the resources available, they must attempt to optimize every interaction between them, to achieve maximinn efficiency for each production resource. In this paper we focus on the presentation of the new competition called Robot Factory, its environment and its main objectives, paying special attention to the scheduling algorithm developed for this specific case study. The findings from the simulation approach have allowed us to conclude that mobile robotic path planning and the scheduling of the associated tasks represent a complex problem that has a strong impact on the efficiency of the entire production process.
