Abstract: Robots are any autonomously run machines that eliminate the need for human labour, even if they may not look like humans or carry out tasks in a way that is humanlike. The majority of today's robots, known as bio-inspired robots, draw their inspiration from nature. The queueing attitude pinpoints the manufacturing issue and offers the crucial ideas that need to be communicated in order to minimise disruptions to the robotic production process. Queuing theory is also used in this work to handle potential delays and other issues. Queues can help uncover ineffective processes and inspire the creation of solutions to reduce resource waste. For the selected queue research, the line size probability generating function and all other efficiency indicators are calculated. The theoretical evaluation of queuing theory in the production of robots is illustrated by a numerical and comprehensive graphic research.

Keywords: robots; queuing strategy; supplementary variable technique; performance measures.
