A Concept of a Multi-robotic System for Warehouse Automation

Abstract

The paper describes the concept of a warehouse multi-robotic system based on visual navigation methods. In contrast to the existing approaches for device navigation and planning of their movement, it is proposed to use external stationary cameras in operation. This approach will simplify and reduce the cost of the design of warehouse robots by using the existing warehouse video surveillance infrastructure (if available), and will also allow more flexible and reliable implementation of robotic automation tools for small warehouses of different configurations.
