Mainly in all manufacturing and assembly operations, robot performance is important in productivity and quality point of view. Better performance is achieved only through proper design and optimum path planning. This paper proposes a fitness function and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to generate optimum path for SCORA ER 14 robotic manipulator for an assembly operations. Main objective of this work is to improve the productivity with respect to the constraints such as positions, velocities and accelerations. This article also presents arm joint utilization, various joint trajectories and comparison of joint movements for different links with different paths based on simulation results.
