Abstract

It is possible to reconfigure supply chains with less cost and time if we use the mobile-robot bin packing system. So, many companies attempt at adopting mobile robots as their new carrier in their own warehouse. However, it is difficult to utilize indoor service robots as a carrier due to the localization problem, the safety problem, and the narrow bin packing environment. So we propose a practically applicable solution technique for a multi-robot bin packing system in an automatic warehouse, which assures a reasonable safety, computation time and a real world application for more than 3 multi-robots. First, design criteria for out bin packing system are introduced. Second, we suggest some sketch of robot mechanical parts. Finally, the method of managing multi-robots in an automatic warehouse robot design with a collision motion planner is proposed.
